Projects

In 2013, the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) awarded the SCMC $200,000 for research and development of enterprise tools & technologies for managing risk in the cyber supply chain.

Utilizing multi-year funding from NIST, SCMC successfully built a Cyber Risk Management Portal with the following features:

• Enterprise Risk Assessment Tool based on the President's Executive Cyber Security Framework
• Supply Chain Assessment Tool, based on latest NIST guidelines and practices, that evaluates your organization's strategic control over its end-to-end IT supply chain.
• Mapping Tool to determine the vulnerability of key hubs and nodes in your IT supply chain
• Insurance Risk Analysis Tool, enables your publically-traded organization to benchmark itself against a database of cybersecurity breaches by industry
• Easy-to-use Executive Dashboard to display and access assessment results
• Newsfeeds and alerts relative to cybersecurity

The SCMC currently is constructing an econometric model for the Director of the Department of Defense's Manufacturing & Industrial Base Policy.

This study draws on the following data sets concerning the benchmarking firm: APQC's supply chain operations reference metrics (SCOR) database; Bloomberg's SPLC Database; and SEC 10k and Quarterly Filings for both financial and supply chain performance variables.

Purposes:

• Quantify the impact that supply chain performance metrics have on a firm's financial performance
• Quantify the impact that supply chain structure variables have on a firm's financial performance
