How NHS Test and Trace Secured Supply Chains with Risk Ledger

Risk Ledger gives NHS Test and Trace unparalleled visibility of their supplier connections and exposes supply chain risks in real-time.

Who are NHS Test and Trace?

In 2020, as businesses across the country were slowing down in the wake of pandemic disruptions, a start-up was being built at unprecedented pace and scale. NHS Test and Trace leapt into action, creating an end-to-end service that combines testing, contact tracing and outbreak management to stop the spread of COVID-19.

But NHS Test and Trace does not operate alone. To meet the greatest public health challenge we have seen in modern times, they have been working with and through valued partners across the country.

A supply chain of that magnitude needed a tool that could scale as quickly as their operations. So choosing Risk Ledger made perfect sense.

Why did they choose Risk Ledger?

The NHS Test and Trace Cyber Security Risk and Assurance Team explain:

“We had complex supply chains to manage and we were growing rapidly. At the same time, we weren’t just testing and producing results, we also had to develop a delivery network akin to Amazon to support all of that activity,”

The team considered traditional options such as scanning tools, smart questionnaire platforms, assessment exchanges and spreadsheets.

“But we had an eye to the future and limited resource to manage everything. We wanted something automated and efficient that would scale quickly and could be applied to multiple use cases.”
