Guiding Supply Chain Security in Aeronautic Development

4-1 : Types of passive and active supply chain security data sources .
The government and commercial sources are usually passive , in that the organization is not aware of your specific interest in them when you obtain data through those sources . If you are planning on teaming with an organization or having them be a critical part of your on-going efforts , you may eventually make use of active methods to get current detailed and specific data regarding particular risks you are concerned about .
The frequency of collection / publication of these different types of data and their “ freshness ” or “ validity ” is also a dimension to consider when selecting a data source . Briefly , some of the criteria to consider when selecting data sources include whether the data source provides data relevant to risks you care about , the appropriateness of the level of detail in the data provided , the ease of use of the data source , the visibility of the use of the data source , and how accurate and recent the data provided is .
5 DRIVING DOWN THE BREADTH AND DEPTH OF TOPICS AND RISK ASPECTS IN SCOPE
SoT incorporates a mechanism for winnowing down and tailoring the overall SoT Body of Knowledge of potential risks to a particular set of relevant risks and investigative questions that consider the context and resources of your organization , the significance of the system or service to its operations , and the consequences that could result from failing to fully vet supply chain risks . This “ profile ” is a proper subset of the overall System of Trust that an organization can repeatedly use to assess the different risk aspects of their supply chain that concern them .
The Risk Model Manager ( RMM ) is the prototype application being used to create and work with the Body of Knowledge of potential supply chain risks captured and curated in SoT . The RMM application functions primarily as a content management capability and learning environment
