Webinar: Supplier Security – Who Can Access Your Business?

Supplier Security – Who Can Access Your Business?

Do you know which suppliers can access your organisation’s systems and data, what they can do and whether they still need that access?

From IT support providers and software partners to contractors and consultants, external organisations often need access to help your business run. But as services, projects and people change, it can be easy to lose track of permissions and responsibilities.

This webinar will help organisations review supplier access, ask useful questions and identify where clearer controls or ownership are needed.

Supplier Security – Who Can Access Your Business? will explore how to understand the access third parties hold, check that it remains appropriate and agree who is responsible for managing it.

With the holiday period approaching, we’ll also consider support arrangements, emergency contacts and what happens if a supplier needs access while your usual team is away.

Date: Wednesday 9 December 2026

Time: 2:00pm GMT

Who should attend?

This session is ideal for IT managers, security teams, procurement leads, business owners and anyone responsible for managing suppliers or third-party access.

It will also be useful for those working with managed IT providers, outsourced services or contractors who can access business systems and sensitive information.

Whether you’re reviewing a handful of suppliers or coordinating a larger supply chain, the session will help you understand where to focus your attention.

What we’ll cover

• Identifying which suppliers can access your systems, applications and data
• Understanding what that access allows and which connections need closer attention
• Checking whether permissions are still needed and appropriate for the service provided
• Reviewing shared accounts, privileged access and remote support arrangements
• Clarifying who approves, reviews and removes supplier access
• Asking suppliers useful questions about their security practices and incident responsibilities
• Managing access when contracts end, projects finish or supplier personnel change
• Checking holiday support cover, emergency contacts and temporary access arrangements

Whether you’re onboarding a new provider or reviewing a longstanding relationship, this session will help you have clearer conversations about access, accountability and security.

You’ll leave with a focused set of checks to discuss with your suppliers and internal teams before the holiday period.
