In this episode of the ITSM Practice Podcast, Luigi Ferri explores why supply chain resilience has become one of the biggest strategic challenges for Government Managed Service Providers (MSPs). Using practical examples from healthcare and public services, he explains how ISO 28000 shifts the conversation from protecting internal systems to managing the security and resilience of the organizations you depend on. Discover why supplier failures, inherited risk, and third-party dependencies are becoming the greatest threats to service continuity, cybersecurity, and operational resilience in government and regulated industries.
In this episode, we answer:
Why is ISO 28000 becoming essential for Government Managed Service Providers and supply chain resilience?
How can third-party suppliers and subcontractors become the weakest link in your cybersecurity and operational resilience strategy?
Why should CISOs focus on inherited risk and supplier dependencies rather than only internal security controls?
