Webinar: The New Rules of Supplier Security – What Enterprise Buyers Want in 2026
Updated 11 June 2026
Meeting modern supply chain security expectations
Tuesday 7th July, 2026, 3:30pm - 4:30pm GMT
Winning enterprise deals is getting harder and security is often the reason. Buyers are asking tougher questions, running deeper assessments and rejecting suppliers that can’t clearly prove how they manage risk.
In fact, as supply-chain attacks continue to rise, security teams are scrutinising vendors more closely than ever before. What used to be a checkbox exercise is now a critical decision factor.
If your approach relies on a certificate alone, you are likely falling behind. Enterprise buyers in 2026 expect more than ISO 27001 or Cyber Essentials certification. They want evidence that your controls are working, that risks are actively managed and that your security programme can stand up to real-world threats.
This webinar will help you understand what has changed, what buyers actually care about now and how to meet those expectations without slowing your growth.
