From manual assessments and data silos to the rise of technology-first solutions, the findings reveal a critical gap between visibility and actionable intelligence. 

Inside this exclusive report: 

  • Why over 50% of leaders report poor data quality beyond Tier 2 
  • What’s driving the move away from manual assessments, and what’s replacing them 
  • How organizations are budgeting for transparency tech in 2025 
  • The nine critical categories of supply chain risk; and where your blind spots may be
