AI-Ready Product
Ready for you. Ready for your AI.
You do not have to build the entire working structure from scratch – not even with your AI. The Kit already includes these materials: A connected supplier-security workflow with an Excel cockpit, editable supplier records, contracts/evidence tools and a worked example. This prepared foundation supports the practical task: Assess supplier criticality, due diligence, requirements, SBOM/VEX, incidents, corrective actions, monitoring and evidence in one supplier case.
With your own appropriately approved AI assistant, you can work on the actual case, adapt the supplied materials and review information gaps rather than first designing a new workflow. Your team provides verified information and makes the decisions; the Practice Kit provides the prepared working framework.
Work with your AI – from a prepared starting point
The assistant can use a defined supplier case and existing work tools to expose missing supplier answers, evidence gaps and follow-up actions instead of constructing a separate supplier-review system. The product includes the following AI-related working support: Nine separate system-neutral AI assistants for scope, criticality, due diligence, contract gaps, SBOM, vulnerabilities/VEX, supplier incidents, monitoring and audit evidence.
Use the relevant supplied files with an AI system approved by your organisation, provided it supports the formats and data-handling requirements. AI support is optional; an AI service or subscription is not included. Supplier facts, technical vulnerability impact, contractual choices and release or escalation decisions require human verification.

From fragmented information to one controlled work status
What this product helps you achieve
Supplier information, security requirements, evidence, vulnerabilities, incidents and decisions are often spread across teams and files.
A connected working system for traceable assessment, documentation, monitoring and management decisions.
Structured supplier record
Connect scope, criticality, due diligence, evidence, measures and decisions.
Operational work tools
Use editable templates and the SCMS Cockpit for the actual working process.
Evidence and lifecycle control
Keep changes, vulnerabilities, incidents, reviews and approval status visible.
Efficient implementation
Structured in-house work instead of building everything from scratch
Criticality, due diligence, security requirements, contracts, SBOM/VEX, incidents, monitoring and evidence are already connected in one working framework. This reduces the need to design a supplier-cybersecurity work system from scratch.
Reduce setup work
Prepared processes, work tools and evidence structures help reduce internal research and setup effort.
Do more with your own teams
Existing specialist knowledge can be transferred directly into a structured working process inside the organisation.
Use external expertise selectively
Legal, technical or other specialist questions remain with the appropriate experts. External support can be focused on the points that require individual assessment or specialist decisions.
Requirements & tasks
Supplier cybersecurity tasks you can work through
Use the Practice Kit to structure supplier, service and component cases. It does not replace a legal, technical or case-specific assessment.

Frequently asked questions
Questions answered before purchase
Why use this Practice Kit if we already use AI?+
Your AI can help draft and structure work, but it would still need a consistent working framework for your real case. This Kit already supplies these prepared materials: A connected supplier-security workflow with an Excel cockpit, editable supplier records, contracts/evidence tools and a worked example. That allows you and your AI to focus sooner on practical application, adaptation and review, without claiming that the Kit replaces professional judgement or guarantees an outcome.
Does the kit replace legal or technical review?+
No. It structures work and evidence but does not replace case-specific specialist assessment.
Are the files editable?+
Yes. The work tools are provided for internal editing and controlled use.
Do the AI assistants make approvals?+
No. They support structuring and review. Decisions remain human responsibilities.
What is included in standard support?+
Support covers download, file access, package structure and reproducible technical product errors.
