THE GUARDIANS

Ten specialists.
One coordinated system.

Every Guardian has a clear role and a tangible result. Together, they connect information, assessment and ongoing case management.

Connected through your criteria, a shared supplier context and collaboration in Teams.

01 / Identify risks

See relevant changes early.

Events, context, performance and evidence form a shared information base.

SignalWatch

Know sooner what is affecting your supply network.

News, events and commodity signals become insights linked to your suppliers.

Signals with sources, supplier links and questions to clarify.
Role & collaboration

Working together

ContextWatch adds background. RiskLens and ImpactLens help assess relevance. A qualified trigger can open a case.

Your control

Monitor and triage within the agreed scope; external actions follow their own approval rules.

Good to know

A report from the same region does not establish that your supplier is affected.

Explore the Teams example
ContextWatch

Keep the wider context on your radar.

Countries, sectors, commodities and supply routes add context to each supplier.

A context profile covering countries, industries, raw materials and supply routes.
Role & collaboration

Working together

RiskLens uses this context against your criteria. SignalWatch can add specific events.

Your control

Prepare and update the agreed context; flag significant changes for assessment.

Good to know

An elevated country risk does not indicate an individual supplier’s actual performance.

Explore the Teams example
PerformanceWatch

Make emerging problems visible.

Delivery, quantity and quality data show where performance is slipping and where your team should focus.

Performance trends and deviations to inform your supplier discussion.
Role & collaboration

Working together

SupplierConnect supports root-cause enquiries. CasePilot tracks agreed improvement actions.

Your control

Prepare deviations against agreed rules; coordinate actions and supplier outreach.

Good to know

A metric shows a deviation. Its cause needs separate investigation; data gaps remain visible.

Explore the Teams example
CertWatch

Find evidence. Keep validity in view.

CertWatch searches for certificates, matches findings and highlights gaps and upcoming renewals.

An evidence record with findings, deadlines and pending checks.
Role & collaboration

Working together

SupplierConnect requests missing documents or renewals. Reviewed validity and site coverage feed into the evidence status and RiskLens.

Your control

Find public evidence and prepare it for review; send further requests after approval or under an agreed rule.

Good to know

Finding a document does not replace checking its validity and scope, or obtaining professional or legal approval.

02 / Complete the picture

Bring in the right people.

Suppliers and internal teams close information gaps through targeted enquiries and campaigns.

SupplierConnect

Get answers that move things forward.

Targeted questionnaires, document requests and reminders bring your suppliers’ knowledge together.

Responses and documents matched to the right supplier.
Role & collaboration

Working together

Responses and documents inform the assessment and the relevant review or investigation.

Your control

Prepare drafts, send after approval, or carry out agreed routine requests and reminders.

Good to know

A supplier response is one source. Unclear or conflicting information needs expert review.

Explore the Teams example
TeamConnect

Put your internal knowledge to work.

Campaigns and questionnaires connect insights from procurement, quality, engineering and planning.

Structured internal insight for assessment and case management.
Role & collaboration

Working together

Reviewed responses inform RiskLens and ImpactLens. Case-related feedback supports CasePilot; external enquiries remain with SupplierConnect.

Your control

Prepare campaigns and launch after approval; reminders and escalations follow agreed rules. Recipients, content and purpose are defined.

Good to know

Internal campaigns and questionnaires bring expertise into the shared assessment. No response is not confirmation; professional judgements remain with the responsible people.

03 / Assess risks & set priorities

Know what matters first.

Your criteria and business priorities turn information into reasoned priorities.

RiskLens

Your criteria shape the assessment.

RiskLens assesses suppliers against your configured risk perspective. Sources, reasoning and gaps remain traceable.

A reasoned assessment based on your criteria and weightings.
Role & collaboration

Working together

The reasoned assessment supports prioritisation, EntryGuard checks and work on specific cases.

Your control

Assess against agreed criteria; review exceptions and model changes together.

Good to know

Unknown does not mean low risk. Missing or conflicting information limits the conclusions that can be drawn.

Explore the Teams example
ImpactLens

Focus on what matters.

Criticality, substitutability and dependencies show which risks matter most to your business.

A priority that combines risk and business importance.
Role & collaboration

Working together

Together with RiskLens, this creates a transparent priority for further action.

Your control

Assess business relevance against agreed rules; make assumptions and missing links visible.

Good to know

Without the relevant data, no reliable conclusions can be drawn about stock coverage, production downtime or financial losses.

04 / Support risk checks & cases

From the initial check to a resolved case.

EntryGuard brings together the risk check before your supplier decision. CasePilot supports specific cases in ongoing operations.

EntryGuard

Clarity before you decide.

The initial risk check of a candidate brings together the assessment, sources and open questions – before your onboarding.

An initial risk check before your decision and before onboarding.
Role & collaboration

Working together

RiskLens provides the reasoned assessment; other Guardians contribute the information needed. The risk check is one input into your supplier decision.

Your control

Prepare the risk check and recommendation. Any information requests follow your approvals. You make the supplier decision.

Good to know

An initial risk check only, before the supplier decision and onboarding. It does not cover full supplier qualification, the supplier decision or supplier onboarding.

Explore the Teams example
CasePilot

Keep things moving until the case is resolved.

CasePilot brings tasks, responsibilities, deadlines and responses together in one shared case.

A case with owners, deadlines and a reviewed outcome before closure.
Role & collaboration

Working together

Guard experts support selected cases. Your team decides and implements operational actions.

Your control

Prepare next steps, send reminders and escalate according to agreed rules; binding decisions and costs remain with you.

Good to know

An overdue deadline is not evidence of effectiveness. A case ends with a reviewed result and confirmed closure.
