The ICT SCRM Task Force’s newest resource, Empowering SMBs: A Resource Guide For Developing a Resilient Supply Chain Risk Management Plan, was created to provide a valuable starting point for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to develop and tailor an information and communications technology (ICT) supply chain risk management (SCRM) plan that meets the needs of their business.
