Manchester business Parker Neal Ltd has launched a cybersecurity platform to protect supply chains.

Secure Assured is described as a next-generation Software-as-a-Service platform purpose-built to tackle the escalating security challenges facing modern supply chains. 

Supply chain attacks have grown by more than 300% over the past three years, with high-profile incidents affecting critical infrastructure, financial services, and government organisations worldwide.

Regulatory pressure is intensifying: the EU’s DORA regulation, the updated NIS2 Directive, and the UK’s Cyber Security and Resilience Bill all place explicit obligations on organisations to manage the cyber risk of their supply partners.

The platform is based on a fixed-price low-cost tiered model – including a free tier – with unlimited supply chain mapping.
