Global supply chains face a broad range of risks, from physical threats to cybersecurity threats. Sharing information with suppliers is essential for the supply chain to function effectively, but it creates significant risks simultaneously with a potential loss of intellectual property (IP). Security is only as strong as the weakest link in the supply chain. Data compromised in the supply chain can be as damaging as that from within the organization. Digital rights management (DRM) is used by many industries, such as the music industry, to protect intellectual property. Organizations are beginning to look at this technology to protect their corporate IP. Netwoven Govern 365<\/a> and Microsoft Purview Information Protection<\/a> provide a robust solution for managing your IP. <\/p>\n

Nine must-haves to implement a resilient supply chain information protection framework <\/h2>\n

The following items are essential for a robust supply chain framework: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Keep an updated database of leading suppliers and their sub-tiers. This hierarchy can be very fluid, so it must be maintained and used carefully.  <\/li>\n
  2. Deploy Microsoft Purview Information Protection to automatically discover, classify, label, and protect sensitive data found in files and documents within your organization.  <\/li>\n
  3. Ensure all IP-related files emanating from applications such as computer-aided design software, productivity software, and other types of software are protected using the labels for the appropriate suppliers.  <\/li>\n
  4. Ensure that all information is protected appropriately based on the current hierarchy of leading suppliers and their sub-tiers.  <\/li>\n
  5. Establish that all data egress points from the company where sharing of files can occur with suppliers are protected. <\/li>\n
  6. Put in place all appropriate legal contracts with the leading suppliers. <\/li>\n
  7. Confirm that external users are registered appropriately in your identity management system to have access to the files.  <\/li>\n
  8. Limit trade restricted individuals from accessing critical information as a violation could lead to fines by the government. <\/li>\n
  9. Create a solution that is easy to use by all users for adoption. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
