Summary
Documents
Define a framework to reduce acquiring cyber risk through National Grid procurement process. Analyse, quantify and model the current cyber threat across the supply chain. Review the existing National Grid supply chain landscape, then targeting specific asset types and develop a procurement framework that embeds cyber security within the process.
