16 Critical Infrastructure Sectors

The very backbone of the American way of life relies on our 16 critical infrastructure sectors that are so vital to the United States that their incapacitation or destruction would have a detrimental effect on our entire nation. Centris offers Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) advisory services and solutions to all 16 sectors. Critical infrastructure is incredibly broad, and includes sectors that, according to the Department of Homeland Security, “…whose assets, systems, and networks, whether physical or virtual, are considered so vital to the United States.”

Furthermore, Presidential Policy Directive 21 (PPD-21): Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience, promotes a national policy for strengthening and maintaining secure, functioning, and resilient critical infrastructure. While there are many moving parts in the broader aspect of critical infrastructure, it’s essential that organizations have a firm grasp on understanding their entire third-party supply chain. With Centris our Design & Deploy TPRM solutions help organizations build comprehensive third party risk management programs for the financial, life sciences, healthcare, energy, critical infrastructure, manufacturing, retail, technology, and legal sectors.

Third-Party Risk Management Critical Infrastructure Supply Chain Experts

Specifically, Information and communications technology (ICT) is integral for the daily operations and functionality of U.S. critical infrastructure. If vulnerabilities are successfully exploited in the third-party ICT supply chain, the consequences can be disastrous for not only your organization, but potentially any organization in your supply chain. The domino effect can be deadly, to say the least. At Centris, we work with both government and industry partners to ensure that comprehensive supply chain risk management (SCRM) is an integrated component of security and resilience planning for America’s critical infrastructure.
