SUFFOLK, Va., December 5, 2017 (Newswire.com) - U.S. and international regulations demand businesses address cybersecurity throughout their supply chain. Sera-Brynn, LLC, a FedRAMP-authorized assessor and cyber risk management firm, has expanded services for clients to efficiently and effectively manage cyber risk in their supply chains.
“Supply chain partners are your best and worst friend.
