UK Businesses Vulnerable to Cyber Threats in Supply Chains, RSM UK Reports

Recent research by RSM UK reveals that only 55% of UK businesses actively monitor cyber risks in their supply chains. Alarmingly, just 39% feel very confident in their ability to withstand a cyber-attack, despite 22% having experienced such incidents in the past year. The findings highlight a significant gap in awareness and preparedness, particularly among operations staff compared to senior leaders.
The implications of these findings are critical, especially in light of recent AI-related cyber breaches involving companies like Open AI. With only 37% of businesses considering the impact of a major cyber-attack on critical suppliers, the potential for widespread disruption is evident. RSM UK's Sheila Pancholi emphasizes the necessity for businesses to adopt a proactive approach to cyber resilience across their entire supply chain.
Looking ahead, companies must prioritize building robust cyber resilience strategies to mitigate risks. RSM UK recommends documenting key third-party suppliers, identifying potential cyber threats, and ensuring comprehensive incident response plans are in place. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
