Industries · Agriculture → Distribution & supply chain

You run on other people’s systems. So we test theirs too.

Product moves field to processor to distributor to shelf, and a disruption anywhere no longer stays local. We map the distribution networks and third-party connections an attacker would use to stop the flow, and prove the blast radius before a partner’s breach becomes yours.

The problem

What distribution & supply chain is up against.

01

Third-party & vendor risk

The processors, logistics, and software partners whose compromise becomes yours.

The problem

Third-party & vendor risk

Your operation runs on other people’s systems: processors, hauliers, brokers, and the software that ties them together. Each holds a connection back to you, and most firms “assure” them with a questionnaire. A returned spreadsheet isn’t a test. We map the real connections and prove the blast radius if a partner is breached.

  • Processors, logistics, and software partners
  • Connections each partner holds back to you
  • Blast radius when a partner is compromised

02

Distribution & logistics OT

Warehouse, cold-chain, and transport systems whose disruption halts delivery.

The problem

Distribution & logistics OT

Distribution runs on warehouse control, cold-chain monitoring, and transport systems that don’t stop for a maintenance window. An outage doesn’t just lose data; it strands product and misses deliveries that can’t be rescheduled. We test these systems the way OT has to be tested, with uptime as a hard limit.

  • Warehouse, cold-chain, and transport control
  • Product stranded when systems stop
  • Tested with uptime as a hard constraint

03

Integrations & data exchange

The EDI links and APIs that move orders, inventory, and shipments between partners.

The problem

Integrations & data exchange

Orders, inventory, and shipments move through a web of EDI links and APIs, each trusting the last. A weakness in one integration lets an attacker forge an order, reroute a shipment, or read a partner’s data. We test those connections the way an attacker abuses them, not the way the integration doc describes them.

  • EDI and API links between partners
  • Forged orders and rerouted shipments
  • Trust between integrations, tested for real

04

Partner & remote access

The standing access partners and integrators hold into your logistics systems.

The problem

Partner & remote access

Partners and integrators keep standing access into your systems to keep goods moving, and it’s rarely scoped or watched. One compromised partner account is a path straight into distribution that skips your perimeter entirely. We find those doors and show how far each one reaches.

  • Partner and integrator standing access
  • Paths that skip your perimeter
  • How far a single partner account reaches

05

Concentration & uptime

The single dependency whose outage would be your worst week, in a business that can’t pause.

The problem

Concentration & uptime

Modern distribution is efficient because it’s concentrated, which means one hub, one system, or one partner can become a single point of failure for a whole region. And none of it can pause while you test. We rehearse the outage safely, uptime as a hard limit, and show you which failure would hurt most.

  • Single points of failure in a lean chain
  • No window to pause and test
  • The outage rehearsed before it’s real

06

Generic testing misses the chain

A checklist test looks at one company; the risk lives in the seams between many.

The problem

Generic testing misses the chain

A standard pen test scopes to your four walls, but the supply chain’s risk lives in the handoffs between companies, where nobody quite owns the security. A template engagement never looks there. We scope to the seams: the integrations, the shared access, and the partners a real attacker would come through.

  • Risk lives in the handoffs, not one company
  • Template tests never look at the seams
  • Scoped to the connections between partners

How an attacker gets in

How an attacker gets in

There’s never just one way in. A real engagement maps the routes from a compromised partner or an integration link to the systems that keep goods moving. Stall one path and an attacker loops back and tries another.

Regulation by regulation

The rules you answer to, and how we test for each.

Critical-infrastructure reporting and supply-chain risk standards both apply. We map the trust your supply chain carries and prove what a compromised partner could reach.

StandardWhat it expectsHow we test it
CIRCIA
Report significant incidents within 72 hours and ransom payments within 24, as covered critical infrastructure.
We rehearse the reporting decision across the partners a real incident would involve.
NIST 800-161
Cyber supply-chain risk management: know and control the risk your suppliers carry (C-SCRM).
We map the trust each partner holds and prove what a compromised one could reach.
IEC 62443
Zones and conduits where distribution touches OT and automation.
We test the boundaries between partner connections and your operational systems.
