Supplier Shield is a third-party risk management platform designed to help organizations assess and manage security risks in their supply chains. The company is part of the Abilene Group and was developed by the team behind Abilene Advisors, which has over 25 years of experience in governance, risk management, and compliance.

The platform offers three main solutions: a cloud-based platform for supplier risk assessment, advisory services, and managed services. The system uses targeted, audit-proven questionnaires rather than lengthy generic assessments to evaluate supplier security posture. This approach aims to provide faster, higher-quality answers while reducing the burden on both suppliers and internal teams.

Supplier Shield focuses on helping organizations achieve compliance with regulatory requirements and prepare for audits. The platform provides visibility into third-party risks, tracks compliance status, and generates documentation for regulators and auditors. The company emphasizes practical, actionable risk management rather than complex processes.

Based in Morges, Switzerland, Supplier Shield serves organizations across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Their clients include global banks and public institutions. The company is connected to Abilene Academy, which provides certified training in information security, data protection, and compliance standards to help teams understand and implement risk management practices.
