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 are buying, 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, now Foreign Ownership, Control, and Influence (FOCI) regulations extend to commercial businesses, even those without classified government contracts. Section 847 of the FY20 National Defense Authorization Act, as well as frameworks targeting “foreign entities of concern,” seek to counter potential data exfiltration, industrial sabotage, and geopolitical leverage by adversarial powers like Russia or China.
Compliance and risk professionals now need to not only map their supply chains but establish holistic views of their direct and indirect suppliers, all without introducing unnecessary risk noise and inefficiencies.
Join Sayari’s Phil Kittock and Covington’s Ryan Burnette on Wednesday, February 11, 2026 at 10am EST to learn how organizations are leveraging unified data and risk intelligence to efficiently triage and mitigate this type of supplier ownership risk.
The agenda will include:
- A recap of the evolving regulatory and risk landscape driving prioritization to supplier beneficial ownership including Section 889 of the FY19 NDAA, Section 805 of the FY24 NDAA, and the BIS Connected Vehicles Rule.
- Case studies illustrating how hidden supplier ownership risk can be identified and triaged
- Best practices for efficiently mitigating and responding to the most critical risk
This webinar is for supply chain risk management specialists, trade compliance officers, and sourcing managers working to identify and mitigate risk posed by hidden foreign ownership or control in supply chains as well as the regulators tasked with enforcing these measures.
