Case Study: Civil Aviation Authority achieves stronger supply chain risk management with Risk Ledger

Demonstrating exemplary supply chain management for the aviation industry

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), the UK's independent aviation regulator, faced a manual and time-consuming supplier risk management process. This spreadsheet-based approach slowed procurement and lacked the ability to continuously monitor its extensive supply chain's security posture. Seeking to move beyond basic compliance, the CAA partnered with Risk Ledger to overhaul its third-party risk management (TPRM) programme.

Implementing the Risk Ledger platform automated the CAA's supplier assessments and enabled continuous monitoring of its suppliers' security controls. This solution improved cross-team collaboration and supplier communication, significantly speeding up the procurement review cycle from months to weeks. The CAA now has real-time visibility into its supply chain risks, enhancing its security assurance and solidifying its reputation as a regulatory authority.
