Even experienced supply chain leaders face delays when security issues emerge late in vendor onboarding, usually due to unclear ownership of application risk in procurement workflows.
The situation this course is for
Security gaps in vendor-built software are increasingly traced back to procurement blind spots. Without formal oversight frameworks, teams default to reactive fixes, slowing deployment, inflating cost, and diluting accountability.
Who this is for
Senior supply chain executives with oversight of third-party technology vendors and digital integration in APAC markets, especially where regulatory scrutiny and cross-border data flows intersect.
Who this is not for
Individual contributors without vendor governance authority, developers focused on code-level security, or compliance staff without procurement or supply chain decision rights.
What you walk away with
- Full command of OWASP Top 10 applicability in vendor contract and SLA design
- Structured review process for third-party pen test reports and remediation plans
- Authority to require OWASP compliance as a procurement gate in high-risk engagements
- Working playbook for cross-functional alignment between security, legal, and sourcing teams
- Repeatable scoring model for OWASP maturity across vendor portfolios
