Your suppliers say they're ML2 compliant. How do you know?

Your supply chain is part of your attack surface. Suppliers who are DISP members must achieve and maintain Essential Eight ML2, and a supplier that loses DISP membership can disrupt the programmes it supports. With a supplier's agreement, NodeZero can test its environment for independent evidence, and segmentation testing shows whether a compromised supplier connection could reach your systems.

Your specific challenges

Limited visibility into supplier posture

Supplier assurance often rests on self-assessments and questionnaires, with no independent view of whether Essential Eight controls actually work.

A compromised supplier is your problem

Verizon's 2026 DBIR found a third party involved in 48% of breaches, up 60% on the previous year. A weakness in your supplier's network can become an entry point into yours.

Suppliers are a route to you

ASD warns that state-sponsored actors may use data held by Australian businesses to support further targeting of government and critical infrastructure organisations, as well as their supply chains.

How NodeZero helps

Built for your situation

01

Test supplier environments independently

With the supplier's agreement, run NodeZero in their environment to test the technical controls behind their ML2 posture. Get independent evidence, not self-reported checklists.

02

Test your segmentation from their network

Segmentation testing proves whether a compromised supplier could reach your critical systems. Validate the boundaries that matter.

03

Evidence for supplier assurance

NodeZero reports give you attack-based evidence to use in your supply chain assurance reviews.
