Learn How UK Local authorities pioneered a new standard for supply chain security, moving from siloed TPRM to collective defence.

Supply chain breaches impacting UK Local Authorities have risen 388% in three years. Facing legacy IT and resource constraints, a pioneering group of 20 councils teamed up with Risk Ledger to test a new "Defend-as-One" strategy.
By pooling intelligence and connecting to 800 3rd party suppliers on the Risk Ledger platform, they uncovered what individual risk assessments can't:
→ 1,048 hidden dependencies across 4th, 5th and nth parties.
→ 84 critical concentration risks.
→ 1 single point of failure connected to every single participant.
→ 25% of their shared suppliers are not Cyber Essentials certified.
Learn how collaboration significantly reduced unnecessary duplication of work and fixed the public sector supply chain security gap, and how these UK Councils turned an urgent risk factor into a collaborative success story.
This is the new scalable model for bolstering public sector security that policymakers have been waiting for.
