Identifying Foreign Ownership Risk in Supply Chains
Foreign Ownership, Control, and Influence (FOCI) regulations are no longer confined to defense contractors. Section 847 of the FY20 NDAA, Section 889, and the BIS Connected Vehicles Rule now extend to all commercial businesses. Ownership is now a core risk vector – and name-based screening is no longer sufficient. Learn how to identify and triage foreign ownership risk at scale.
US supply chain risk management has undergone a fundamental shift in response to national security regulations and mandates. Compliance is no longer just about what you buy, where it was made, or from whom – who owns or influences suppliers is now a core concern of risk management. Originally focused on defense contractors, FOCI regulations now extend to all commercial businesses, even those without classified government contracts. Organizations still relying on name-based screening are falling behind. The leaders winning today are those mapping ownership structures across direct and indirect suppliers using unified data and risk intelligence to efficiently triage and mitigate this risk.
