Use Case: Regulatory Compliance in Global Supply Chains

Overview

Cybervergent is a comprehensive solution designed to enhance security, compliance, risk, and privacy management for organizations.

With both on-premises and cloud capabilities, it seamlessly integrates with third-party APIs, platforms, and systems.

Cybervergent helps with data protection and governance to ensure that organizations meet global regulations while maintaining operational efficiency.

The Challenge

A global manufacturer operated a complex supply chain with hundreds of suppliers spread across North America, Europe, and Africa. This network was essential for operations but created a massive compliance headache, as the firm was subject to a patchwork of diverse, international data regulations, including CCPA in California and GDPR in Europe.

In the manufacturing industry, data (from employee PII to partner financial records) flows constantly through the supply chain. The company had no easy way to track which supplier had what data, making it impossible to answer basic questions from auditors or ensure its partners were compliant with local laws.

This lack of visibility meant the company was exposed to significant regulatory risk. A single non-compliant supplier in Germany could trigger massive GDPR fines for the manufacturer, and the manual, spreadsheet-based system for tracking this was failing.

The RPM Solution

Supply Chain Data Flow Mapping: Map data flows across the entire supply chain to identify where sensitive data resides and which compliance risks are present.

Region-Specific Continuous Monitoring: Enable continuous monitoring of suppliers for their adherence to specific, regional compliance requirements (like GDPR).

Regulatory Alignment: Align internal risk management practices with global standards, ensuring compliance and demonstrating due diligence to all stakeholders.

The Results

By deploying Cybervergent RPM, the manufacturer transformed its entire compliance program. The data flow mapping immediately identified a high-risk supplier in France that was improperly handling data, posing a major GDPR risk. The platform's continuous monitoring flagged the issue, allowing the compliance team to force remediation. This new, automated approach streamlined their global compliance efforts, drastically reducing their regulatory risk exposure and replacing their inefficient manual processes with a single, auditable system.
