Continuous supply chain cyber risk detection and response
Quickly detect zero-days, eliminate friction in vendor collaboration, and enhance your supply chain’s cybersecurity through advanced AI, data analytics and end-to-end identification and remediation workflows.
Transform vendor risk managers into supply chain incident responders
Supply Chain Detection and Response (SCDR) empowers security teams to proactively prevent third-party breaches by enhancing the security posture of both your organization and your suppliers. SCDR solutions actively identify critical vulnerabilities and issues across the supplier ecosystem and drive collaborative remediation with robust response capabilities.
Solutions can be delivered by your own security teams or by leveraging SecurityScorecard’s team of experts who work directly with your vendors to ensure comprehensive protection.

"SecurityScorecard MAX bolsters our third-party cybersecurity posture quickly and efficiently through proactive, real-time risk monitoring and remediation. With MAX, we unlock the ability to identify a wide range of cybersecurity concerns across our global vendor landscape and partner with those vendors to respond to and eliminate threats in our supply chain."

"A TPRM program supported by security ratings is essential for developing security controls, but it is not equipped to operationalize risk and threat intelligence to reduce the frequency and severity of third-party cyber incidents. The implementation of MAX strengthens security by powering teams of supply chain incident responders who can work directly with vendors to quickly resolve issues."

SCDR FAQs
What is supply chain detection and response?
Supply chain detection and response (SCDR) is a solution for supply chain incident responders that drives critical issue identification, vendor responsiveness, and time to incident resolution. SCDR solutions provide risk intelligence, AI-driven workflows, and collaboration capabilities to improve the security posture of your organization and your suppliers.
SCDR shares principles from other detection and response approaches like extended detection and response (XDR) and cloud detection and response (CDR). Those principles are applied to your ecosystem of vendors, partners, or other third-parties.
Why is supply chain detection and response needed now?
Organizations struggle to operationalize supply chain cybersecurity in an environment where these types of risks are more complex and impactful. The struggles manifest themselves in the following ways:
- Visibility: Who are my suppliers, what is their business impact, and how secure are they?
- Actionability: What do I do when a vendor is high risk or is breached?
- Ownership: Who has the skills and accountability to respond to incidents in the supply chain?
As a result of these struggles, most of the time it’s the supplier who has the weaker security posture in the relationship. Today we see that pretty much every organization has a supplier who has been breached and that the cost of responding to incidents in the supply chain is rising.
How does supply chain detection and response help?
SCDR transforms the way you respond to supply chain incidents. Today, there is a gap at the intersection of 1st and 3rd party risk, where supply chain incident response lives.
The only way to close that gap is to deploy a dedicated team of supply chain incident responders to focus on resolving third-party risks as an extension of the SOC.
The supply chain incident response team implements a proactive incident response approach that improves supply chain security postures and reduces issues resolution times. SCDR is the technology that powers supply chain incident responders.
How does supply chain detection and response work?
SCDR relies on comprehensive and continuously updated risk intelligence to create the insights needed to drive desired outcomes. Advanced AI and data analytics drive intelligent user experiences to streamline identification and remediation workflows. Incident response capabilities empower suppliers to prioritize and remediate issues.
There are three critical pillars of a comprehensive supply chain detection and response solution:
- Continuous threat and risk monitoring: Instant and continuous identification of security issues, threat actor behavior, and active incidents that impact an organization and its suppliers.
- Supplier lifecycle management: Manage vendor-related data, track vendor engagement, and consolidate vendor-provided evidence and documentation to help streamline risk reduction and oversight.
- Supplier collaboration and remediation: Turns supply chain risk insights into action with tools and workflows that enable suppliers to efficiently resolve the specific issues that are identified and prioritized with the highest criticality.
