The Supply Chain Management Masterclass 

As witnessed in last week's Qantas cyber attack​​​, in today's interconnected data landscape, your supply chain is both your greatest asset and your greatest vulnerability.

When outsourcing critical functions like research operations and personal information management, are you confident in your risk management strategy?

The stakes couldn't be higher.

Your organisation remains ultimately responsible for every piece of personal information flowing through your research processes, regardless of which partners handle it. With increasing regulatory scrutiny from the Australian Privacy Act and the Cybersecurity Act, as well as compliance with the ADIA Privacy Code, supply chain vulnerability has become a significant concern. 

The Supply Chain Management Course is available free to all members through the ADIA Academy. This three-part masterclass provides you with actionable strategies to transform potential vulnerabilities into competitive advantages:

1. Lifecycle Management - Navigate the complete journey of supplier relationships - from selection and contracting to performance management and secure off-boarding. 
2. Technology & Security Risk Mitigation - Develop robust assessment protocols for technology partners, implement proper information transfer safeguards, establish your right to audit, and create incident response plans that maintain business continuity.
3. Research-Specific Provider Management - Apply specialised risk management techniques for market research subcontractors, including managing sub-subcontractor relationships and implementing secure ICT practices between organisations.

 If you want your organisation to be ISO 27001 audit-ready within 12 months, this program is for you. ADIA's subsidised program is the only clear pathway designed specifically for the industry.
