Trust Your Supplier (TYS) Completes SOC Examinations for Fourth Consecutive Year

In the fast-paced landscape of business operations, the secure exchange of information stands as a cornerstone of success across all industries. Cybersecurity, confidentiality, and data privacy remain paramount concerns, particularly in the realm of document exchanges and data transfers. Trust Your Supplier (TYS), a flagship initiative under the purview of Chainyard, acknowledges the critical nature of these issues within its network of participants. To bolster this commitment, TYS and Chainyard proudly announce the successful completion of SOC 1 & SOC 2 Type 2 examinations for the fourth consecutive year with no exceptions, reaffirming its dedication to meeting the most stringent data security requirements.

The examination was conducted by A-LIGN, a technology-enabled security and compliance firm trusted by more than 4,000 global organizations to help mitigate cybersecurity risks.

What is SOC 2 report?
A SOC 2 report  addresses risks associated with the handling and access of data, and can be used by a variety of organizations of any size (e.g. SaaS, colocation, data hosting, etc.) Rather than a cybersecurity assessment that evaluates specific technical configurations, a SOC 2 report focuses more on how an organization implements and manages controls to mitigate the identified risks to the different parts of an organization.
The SOC 2 audit testing framework is based off of the Trust Services Criteria (TSC), which are used to identify various risks (points of focus) an organization should consider addressing. Based on the TSCs the organization selects to be in-scope, the third-party compliance and audit firm evaluates whether the organization has the appropriate policies, procedures and controls in place to manage the identified risks effectively.

In order to pass a SOC 2 examination and receive a letter of attestation successfully, it means an organization is addressing controls in areas such as information security, access control, vendor management, system backup, business continuity and disaster relief, and more.

Trust Your Supplier & Chainyard performs SOC 1 and SOC 2 audits on an annual basis and reports are available to current clients upon request and to potential clients upon execution of a non-disclosure agreement. If you are interested in viewing these SOC reports, please contact us.

Trust Your Supplier (TYS) Featured in Forbes Article

Reimagining Supplier Onboarding and Compliance with Blockchain – How Trust Your Supplier (TYS) is revolutionizing the procurement process.

Award winning research journalist Kate Vitasek, has featured Trust Your Supplier (TYS) in a Forbes article chronicling TYS’s journey using blockchain technology to solve supplier onboarding and compliance issues. 

Blockchain technology is transforming the way businesses manage supplier onboarding and compliance, and Trust Your Supplier (TYS) is at the forefront of this revolution. TYS is a blockchain-based platform that streamlines the onboarding process by creating a digital identity for suppliers, allowing them to share their information with multiple customers at once. This not only saves time and reduces administrative burden but also improves data quality and security. 

The TYS platform was born from a collaboration between IBM and Chainyard, which began in 2018. The partnership quickly moved from idea to innovation, resulting in the creation of the first blockchain-based, decentralized platform designed to manage supplier information. The TYS network has expanded to include companies such as Lenovo, GSK, Nokia, BT, American Express, and Pearson. 

The benefits of using the TYS platform are significant for both suppliers and their customers. On average, onboarding times have been reduced by 67%, leading to cost savings of nearly $500 per supplier for purchasing organizations. For suppliers, the ability to be onboarded with additional companies almost instantly allows them to start work after a deal is sold, eliminating the administrative burden of managing the same or similar data across multiple customers. 

As the world continues to embrace blockchain technology, the future of digital identity is rapidly approaching. Groundbreaking efforts like TYS signal the dawn of a new era in data ownership, where suppliers will have unprecedented control over their data, leading to enhanced regulatory compliance, security, and data quality. The journey to this data-centric future has begun, and its potential impact is nothing short of transformative.

Evolving Corporate Sustainability Regulations

by Michelle Armstrong, TYS Global VP of Value Solutions Consultant

Corporate sustainability has gained unprecedented importance in the face of global challenges like climate change and human rights issues. Businesses are increasingly held accountable for their environmental degradation and social impacts. Legislative and regulatory changes are redefining corporate responsibilities towards sustainability, moving beyond voluntary initiatives to mandatory compliance.

From EU regulations such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) to the global standards of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD),  the reporting landscape is transitioning at lightning speed.

The Council and the European Parliament reached a provisional deal on the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), which aims to enhance the protection of the environment and human rights in the EU and globally. The due diligence directive will set obligations for large companies regarding actual and potential adverse impacts on human rights and the environment, with respect to their own operations, those of their subsidiaries, and those carried out by their business partners.

Which regulations apply to you?

Key Frameworks: The CSDDD, CSRD, ISSB, and TCFD represent significant legislative and regulatory shifts, mandating comprehensive sustainability practices and reporting.

Implications for Organizations: These frameworks signal a shift from voluntary to mandatory sustainability practices, emphasizing transparency, accountability, and long-term planning.

Read more over the next few days as we provide insight into CSRD, ISSB, TCFD, and the CSDDD.
