Maple GRC for Family Health Teams
A tailored Cyber Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC) software designed specifically for manufacturing organizations to enhance cybersecurity, safeguard intellectual property, and protect supply chain operations.
Cybersecurity in advanced manufacturing is critical as the sector increasingly integrates connected systems, IoT devices, and digital workflows. Risks span from intellectual property theft and ransomware targeting operational technology (OT) to supply chain vulnerabilities and tampering with digital designs. Nation-state actors, cybercriminals, and insider threats pose significant challenges, particularly in industries like automotive, aerospace, and medical devices. Robust measures, including compliance with frameworks like NIST CSF and ISO/IEC 27001, are essential to protect sensitive data, ensure production continuity, and safeguard intellectual property across the diverse sub-sectors.
