Many supply chain incidents become dangerous for you because third parties have too much or too long access. This use case creates clarity: who has which access, for what, for how long – and cleans up. Where appropriate, we implement zero trust network access for third-party connections, so external access is standardised, time-limited and traceable.
If you’d like, we’ll show you typical patterns and an example setup in a short demo, together with our technology partner.
Third-party access grows organically: emergencies, projects, legacy. Eventually nobody knows what’s still needed. Keys and accounts stay active because “it’s running”. This is one of the biggest risk drivers in supply chain incidents.
We create an overview, define standards (short, achievable) and clean up in prioritised waves. Where appropriate, third-party access is standardised via zero trust – instead of broad VPN access or permanent exceptions. Verification is key: “removed” must truly be removed.
Typical timeframe: 2–4 weeks until overview + first closures.
Scope: which access counts (remote, accounts, integrations, keys)?
Create overview and assign owners
Define standards (duration, approval, least privilege)
Implement zero trust access and phase out exceptions
Close/rebuild (prioritised) + verification
Can this work without disruption?
Yes – we prioritise and rebuild in waves, not “big bang”.
What’s the most important quick win?
Expiry dates/durations + ownership per access point. This reduces risk immediately.
Why zero trust instead of traditional VPN?
Because you can control access more granularly (who, what, when) and cleanly time-limit and quickly revoke access.
How do you keep it clean?
Onboarding/offboarding process + regular reviews.
Let’s create an overview and properly secure the most important access points – incl. zero trust where it makes sense.
