Guidehouse was engaged to perform an illumination of the supply chain for a critical maritime platform. The customer wanted to understand their supply chain better, identify specific risks, and prioritize concerns for further action. The purpose of the supplier due diligence was to identify suppliers, validate the legitimacy and credibility of organizations, and assess compliance with regulatory authorities.
