Supply Chain Monitoring

Keep an eye on the security of your supply chain as well

Why is that so important?

Hardly any company operates in isolation these days. As soon as your company uses cloud services, third-party software, external service providers, or physical suppliers, each of these connections poses a potential security risk.

Your supplier’s security is critical to your business for several reasons:

    • Liability Risk Under NIS-2

    In Germany, the EU’s NIS 2 Directive (Network and Information Security Directive 2) has been in force as national law since December 2025. The key requirements of NIS 2 are:

    • You can find all this information about NIS-2 and more directly on the BSI website: BSI – NIS-2 -regulated Companies

    It's easy with JOUO!

    Risk Assessment for Each Supplier

    With JOUO, you can now monitor the security risk of your supply chain by having JOUO scan each of your listed suppliers. You’ll receive a visual assessment of the risk for each supplier without revealing any of your suppliers’ sensitive data.
    A mark in the security column indicates a critical security vulnerability on the website. Depending on the intensity of the red color, the vulnerability is particularly dangerous. This preview displays up to the 10 most significant security vulnerabilities on the website.

    Document Risk Management

    To fulfill your documentation requirements (e.g., under NIS-2), you can ask your suppliers to complete a questionnaire regarding their risk management.

    Once they have completed it, you will receive the information as a downloadable PDF, which you can submit to the BSI as a measure for monitoring your supply chain and use as a basis for risk assessment or other steps.

    You can have your suppliers fill out the questionnaire again at regular intervals to maintain a documentation history.
