People, devices and suppliers

Devices, training and supplier assurance - the parts of the standard that live outside your firewall.

The controls that trip small suppliers up are rarely technical. They are the leaver whose access is still live, the training nobody completed, and the supplier questionnaire that has been sitting in someone's drafts for five weeks.

This module covers the human estate: who works here, what they use, what they have been trained on, and which of your suppliers can actually answer for their own security. Suppliers and staff take part through links, not accounts - so there is no seat to buy and nothing for them to install.

Who works here, and what they can reach

The joiner–mover–leaver picture, synchronised from the identity provider and cross-referenced with device and training state.
