Is Your Supply Chain a Cybersecurity Weak Link?

The assessment process is designed to minimize disruption to your operations. Here’s what to expect:

• Initial consultation: 30-45 minutes (can be done remotely)
• Data gathering: 2-3 hours spread over 2-3 days (mostly automated scans)
• Vendor questionnaire review: 1-2 hours of your team’s time
• Final presentation: 30 minutes to review findings

Total time commitment from your team: Approximately 3-4 hours over one week. Our automated tools handle most of the heavy lifting, so your daily operations continue uninterrupted.

We keep information requirements minimal and secure:

Basic Information Needed:

• Network architecture overview (we can help map this)
• List of key suppliers/vendors with access to your systems
• Current cybersecurity tools and policies
• Compliance requirements specific to your industry

What We DON’T Need:

• Customer data or sensitive business information
• Financial records
• Proprietary operational details
• Employee personal information

Security Promise: All information is protected under our cybersecurity NDA and stored in our SOC 2 compliant systems. We only collect what’s necessary for the assessment.

Absolutely zero cost and zero obligation. Here’s why we offer this:

No Hidden Fees: This is a genuine free assessment with no strings attached. You’ll receive a complete 20-page report regardless of whether you choose to work with us.

Why We Do This: We believe that seeing the quality of our work firsthand is the best way to demonstrate our value. Many logistics companies don’t realize their supply chain vulnerabilities until it’s too late.

No Pressure Sales: After delivering your assessment, we’ll answer any questions you have, but there’s no aggressive follow-up or pressure to buy anything. The assessment results speak for themselves.

What Qualifies: We limit this to legitimate logistics and supply chain companies with 10+ employees to ensure we’re helping businesses that can benefit most from the assessment.

We deliver results faster than most security firms:

Real-World Results: We’ve helped logistics companies prevent data breaches, achieve compliance, and secure their vendor networks without disrupting operations.

We use a minimally invasive approach that prioritizes your security:

What We Access:

• Network perimeter scans: External-facing systems only (like checking your front door)
• Vendor-provided documentation: Security questionnaires and compliance certificates
• Network configuration reviews: Firewall rules and segmentation (read-only access)

What We DON’T Access:

• Internal data or files
• Customer information or databases
• Proprietary business applications
• Employee computers or personal devices

Security Measures:

• All access is logged and monitored
• Our team signs additional NDAs specific to your business
• We can work entirely through your IT team if preferred
• All scanning tools are industry-standard and widely trusted

Alternative Approach: If you prefer no system access at all, we can conduct the assessment based on documentation review and guided walkthroughs with your team. While less comprehensive, this still provides valuable insights into your security posture.

Answer: You’re in complete control of next steps:

Immediate Value: You receive a comprehensive report with prioritized recommendations that your internal team or any security provider can implement.

Optional Follow-up: If you’d like help implementing any recommendations, we can discuss options ranging from one-time projects to ongoing security support.

Ongoing Relationship: Many clients appreciate our quarterly security updates specific to logistics industry threats, but this is entirely optional.

No Commitment Required: The assessment stands alone as valuable security intelligence for your business, regardless of any future relationship with Hudson Sky.
