Case Study: Schneider Electric manages supplier cyber risk and accelerates remediation with BitSight

Collaborating to manage supplier risk with BitSight Advisors

Schneider Electric, with an ecosystem of about 52,000 suppliers, faced a rapidly evolving supply‑chain threat landscape as it pursued digital transformation. To gain comprehensive, actionable insight into third‑party cyber risk and foster trusted security conversations with partners, Schneider Electric integrated BitSight’s Third‑Party Risk Management technology and advisory capabilities — including BitSight’s Enable Vendor Access (EVA) and Security Ratings — into its supplier risk program.

BitSight delivered a combined platform and Advisor Services that monitor critical suppliers, trigger alerts when scores drop or risk vectors are hit, and enable Schneider to grant suppliers complimentary access for remediation. BitSight Advisors act as an extension of Schneider Electric’s team, proactively identifying remediation and reporting opportunities so Schneider could quickly and effectively manage supply‑chain risks without hiring or training new staff; Schneider also leverages BitSight for Security Performance Management to track internal and subsidiary security performance.
