As part of securing the supply chain, Körber has established supplier security management processes aimed at ensuring information security within the business relationships with suppliers and vendors. This is achieved by assessing third-party risks and supplier security controls, supplier security policy with defined requirements and controls, maintaining suppliers register, and periodically reviewing suppliers' security posture.

At Körber, application and product security is not just about meeting external requirements, it is part of our corporate strategy and part of our philosophy to be a reliable and trustworthy partner for our customers. We invest in security by design, to ensure security from the very beginning – namely from the moment we kick off the ideation and design process for our solutions. This ongoing process includes defining requirements, continuously assessing third-party software components, and conducting security testing, all while adhering to international standards and best practices.
At Körber, we are committed to raising a high level of awareness about cybersecurity among our employees. We believe that cybersecurity is a collective responsibility and that each individual plays a crucial role in establishing a culture of security that helps us effectively protect against digital risks. For this reason, we started integrating cybersecurity into our colleagues' daily routines several years ago and launched a global awareness campaign.
