Case Study: Multi-National Food Retailer achieves 75% reduction in supply chain incidents with SecurityScorecard MAX

Multi-national corporation protects brand and growth with SecurityScorecard

Multi-National Corporation, a global food retailer operating in 105 markets with over 30,000 suppliers, faced a fragmented and reactive third‑party risk program—67% of its security incidents were third‑party, visibility into its supplier ecosystem was limited, and overwhelming data stalled proactive remediation. To change course it engaged SecurityScorecard and adopted MAX, SecurityScorecard’s managed service for supply‑chain detection and response.

SecurityScorecard’s MAX operationalized the company’s TPRM by prioritizing vendors by incident risk, performing incident‑likelihood assessments, conducting live vendor engagement via its Vendor Risk Operations Center, and continuously monitoring CVEs and zero‑day threats. The program delivered clear results: a 25% reduction in supply‑chain security findings, a threefold decrease in high‑risk vendors (from 136 to 32), onboarding of over 2,000 vendors into the global program, and a 100% remediation rate for identified zero‑day incidents (12 potential zero‑days affecting 294 vendors).
