The agreement targets defense and civilian agency customers that need visibility into the companies, suppliers and component parts behind the products and systems they rely on.

NDAA scrutiny and civilian agency pressure drive demand for sub-tier visibility

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) requires closer scrutiny of defense suppliers. Civilian agencies face growing pressure to understand risk in critical food, agricultural and medical product supply chains. Risk often sits in sub-tier relationships and sources that agencies cannot see.
