Assessment of the security maturity level of the supply chain

Knowledge graph as the basis for digital security supplier management

Abstract

This article presents the current legal and regulatory security requirements for companies and their complex supply chains between operators, service providers, and suppliers.Mastering these requirements calls for efficient processes and semantic modeling of information. Therefore, a risk-based, platformsupported process is presented that evaluates
and monitors the security maturity level of the supply chain. An important basis for this approach is the expertise of security experts. To reduce manual effort, the development
of a knowledge graph is presented, which, together with generative AI, can support the process.
