Continuing NATF’s efforts to promote leading supply chain risk management practices, the NATF has recently released the Supply Chain Risk Controls and Monitoring document for industry use. This document provides guidance on how entities can implement effective risk controls on their suppliers and highlights superior practices for monitoring changes to their suppliers’ risk posture.

Additional discussion is provided on supplier risk tiering, residual risk concepts, and areas of documentation that entities should consider developing to ensure their supply chain risk management efforts are properly recognized by key stakeholders. This guidance corresponds to Step 5: Implement controls and monitor risks of the previously published NATF Supply Chain Security Assessment Model and follows the release of the NATF Supply Chain Risk Assessment Guidance last year.
