If you are a supply chain risk officer at a global medical technology firm, this playbook was built for you.
Managing the security and compliance of medical device logistics across international borders demands precision, consistency, and alignment with both industry-specific regulations and global standards. You are under pressure to ensure that every node in your distribution network, from contract manufacturers to third-party logistics providers, meets stringent security benchmarks while maintaining product integrity and patient safety. Regulatory scrutiny from health authorities, combined with rising cyber-physical threats to supply chains, requires a structured, auditable approach to risk governance. Manual assessments, inconsistent vendor responses, and fragmented documentation slow down certification efforts and expose your organization to compliance gaps.
Traditional consulting routes using Big-4 firms for end-to-end supply chain security implementation typically cost between EUR 80,000 and EUR 250,000. Building an internal team to develop equivalent materials would require 3 full-time compliance specialists working for 6 months to research, draft, test, and refine assessment tools and implementation workflows. This playbook delivers the same depth of structure and regulatory alignment for a one-time cost of $395.

Domain assessments
Each of the seven domain assessments contains 30 targeted questions with scoring rubrics and risk categorization logic. They are designed for direct deployment with logistics providers and internal teams:
- Physical Security Controls: Evaluates site access management, perimeter protection, surveillance systems, and secure storage practices at distribution centers and transport hubs.
- Cyber Resilience in Logistics Systems: Assesses protection of digital systems used in inventory tracking, shipment scheduling, and device serialization, including network segmentation and patch management.
- Personnel Vetting and Training: Reviews background screening, role-based access controls, and ongoing security awareness training for logistics staff handling medical devices.
- Incident Detection and Response: Measures capabilities for identifying, reporting, and responding to security breaches, theft, tampering, or data loss across the supply chain.
- Business Continuity and Contingency Planning: Examines alternate routing strategies, disaster recovery plans, and communication protocols during disruptions affecting device delivery.
- Quality System Integration: Verifies alignment between supply chain security controls and quality management processes required under medical device regulations.
- Subcontractor Oversight: Assesses governance mechanisms for monitoring and auditing subcontracted logistics services, including fourth-party risk visibility.
