The Fortress Asset to Vendor (A2V) Network is a collaborative data-sharing platform designed for supply chain risk management, primarily targeting utilities and other mission-critical industries. The platform provides access to a catalog of over 49,000 vendors and millions of assets, enabling organizations to obtain vendor and asset assessments without conducting redundant evaluations independently. **For Asset Owners:** - Provides pre-verified vendor and asset assessments, reducing the time to obtain risk data from months to seconds. - Enables cost reduction (reported at over 50%) by sharing assessment data across participating organizations rather than each conducting independent evaluations. - Delivers validated, actionable intelligence to support risk-based decision-making. **For Vendors:** - Centralizes asset and vendor data to allow broad dissemination to approved customers. - Increases transparency with customers through accessible data insights. - Maintains data confidentiality, sharing information only with parties the vendor explicitly approves. The A2V Network operates as a community model where member organizations share assessment results, eliminating duplicate vetting efforts across the industry. It is positioned as a managed service with verified data maintained on the platform.
