Supply Chain Risk Management is entirely new in Revision 3. Its 3 requirements break into 24 determination statements in SP 800-171A, and 2 of those are organization-defined parameters: how often you review your supply chain risk management plan, and the security requirements you place on your supply chain.

This course takes every requirement through the same three steps. First you learn what it asks for and the risk behind it. Then you see a practical way to put it in place that fits your environment. Last, you learn how it gets assessed and what evidence proves it. A running case, Harbor Point Machining (a fictional company), shows each step on a system that looks like yours.

By the end, you'll be able to

  • Explain what each Supply Chain Risk Management requirement asks for and the risk it addresses

  • Set the family's 2 organization-defined parameter values and record who approved each one

  • Plan a supply chain risk management plan, acquisition strategies that reduce supply chain risk, and the requirements and processes you hold suppliers to

  • Choose evidence for each determination statement and spot the gaps that lead to "other than satisfied"

  • Roll up your Supply Chain Risk Management readiness with your top gaps, owners, and dates

Leave with your Supply Chain Risk Management rows filled in, not just notes

In the Overview you'll download the Master Readiness Workbook, the one spreadsheet you'll use across every family course, along with a Control Reference Guide for each of the 3 requirements. Every chapter ends with you recording that requirement's parameter values, evidence, owners, and gaps. In the Wrap-Up you roll the family up into one readiness view, with your top three gaps and an owner and date for each. Use sanitized descriptions only, and never enter CUI. The workbook is a working record. It moves the work forward, but it isn't proof of compliance.

FAQ

  • Do I need to take Foundations first?

    It's recommended, not required. Foundations teaches the method for reading Revision 3 requirements, parameters, and assessment objectives that every family course builds on.

  • Which requirements and values apply to my organization?

    The agreements that cover your system determine which requirements and parameter values apply. The course shows you how to find and record them.

  • Is the certificate a professional certification?

    No. It confirms you completed this course and passed its final assessment.

  • Can I enter real system details in the workbook?

    Use sanitized descriptions only. Never put CUI in the workbook.

  • How long do I have access?

    12 months from the day you enroll.

  • Is this course part of a bundle?

    Yes. Supply Chain Risk Management is in the Governance and Risk bundle ($499) and the Complete bundle ($1,495). Every bundle includes Foundations.
