If you work in a regulated or security-sensitive sector, your cyber risk doesn’t stop at your own organisation. It extends straight into your supply chain.

Construction firms delivering defence, infrastructure, public sector, or other regulated projects are increasingly required to prove that every subcontractor and supplier meets defined cyber security standards — often Cyber Essentials as a minimum. Managing that at scale is where things usually fall apart: endless chasing, spreadsheets, inconsistent evidence, and rising risk.

In this practical webinar, we’ll show how Cyber Essentials, combined with our Cyber Swift platform, gives you a simple, auditable way to set cyber security requirements for suppliers, track compliance in real time, and demonstrate due diligence to customers, auditors, and regulators.

We’ll cover:

• Why supply chain cyber security is now a contractual and regulatory issue, not just an IT one

• How Cyber Essentials fits into defence, construction, and regulated sector requirements

• Common mistakes organisations make when managing supplier cyber risk

• How Cyber Swift automates certification tracking, supplier onboarding, and reporting

• Real-world examples of using Cyber Essentials to reduce risk without blocking delivery

This session is designed for construction firms, prime contractors, procurement leads, project managers, and security leaders who need a practical way to control supply chain cyber risk without drowning in admin.

No fluff. No fear-mongering. Just a clear, workable approach to keeping your supply chain cyber-secure and contract-ready.
