Episode 7 — Architect for Supply Chain Risk Without Slowing Delivery and Operations
This episode explains supply chain risk as an architecture problem that spans code, dependencies, build pipelines, hardware, and service providers, which often appears on ISSAP as “where do you put controls that actually work.” You’ll define key supply chain threat types, then learn how to design layered mitigations such as provenance checks, dependency controls, build isolation, artifact signing, and release gating. We’ll emphasize how to balance speed and assurance by choosing controls that reduce blast radius and increase detection, rather than controls that only add paperwork. You’ll also learn how to document supply chain assumptions, establish minimum evidence requirements from suppliers, and troubleshoot common failures like untracked dependencies, uncontrolled admin access in CI/CD, and weak change control that undermines architecture intent.
