Know Your Supplier (KYS)

While Know Your Supplier is not a term that is commonly used in the industry - yet! - it is becoming more and more important that organizations are specifically performing Know Your Customer (KYC) on the companies that they outsource to - particularly if it is for a primary business function. In today’s geopolitical environment, a company can be held accountable for violations of their suppliers and vendors -  resulting in large monetary fines and damage to their corporate reputation.
