Supply Chain Security Maturity Model Advanced Maturity: Well documented processes and procedures throughout, Individual controls assigned to each tier, Third-party oversight of the program, Atticus is the fulcrum for determining where to apply additional resources to manage risk High Maturity: Highly defined vendor tiers, Control matrix is well defined & controls are managed & enforced across all tiers, Atticus provides passive assessments in an ongoing manner to manage risk changes over time on appropriate tiers Average Maturity: Vendor tiers loosely implemented, Vendor list is complete, Control matrix is defined but not completely implemented, Atticus is used yearly for snapshots but not leveraged for ongoing intelligence, Some processes remain ad-hoc, Defined owner Low Maturity: Processes largely non-existent or completely ad-hoc, Vendor list is not complete, Few technical controls defined, Manual processes, Lack of defined responsibility, No use of Atticus for passive assessment intelligence to guide the process
