Your organization may be exposed to risks you can’t see

While many organizations have visibility into their direct suppliers, most supply chain exposures exist above Tier 1, deep in your supplier network. As a result, many of today’s organizations are unknowingly exposed to geopolitical vulnerabilities, bottlenecks, and concentration risks, which can significantly impact business continuity and revenue.

*The above statistics are based on data from Marsh’s supply chain risk management tool, Sentrisk.

Comprehensive, multi-tier visibility and supply chain mapping can help your organization:

Visualize multi-tier networks at a granular level (down to the supplier, site, component, and product)
Uncover hidden exposures and critical dependencies
Implement targeted risk mitigation and transfer strategies
Minimize disruptions and build resilience

With decades of experience managing supply chain risk, Marsh specialists are uniquely positioned to help your organization navigate this complexity, with detailed risk insights and comprehensive mapping, advisory support, and best-in-market data capabilities — including Marsh’s innovative supply chain risk management platform, Sentrisk™.

Align coverage precisely with your risk 

 A key feature of Sentrisk is the ability to generate Supplier+ and Snapshot reports to uncover more detailed, validated, and up-to-date supplier data. This enriched data can support:

More detailed, accurate submissions to underwriters
Potentially higher limits for property, contingent business interruption (CBI), and property damage business interruption (PDBI)
Digital preparation of supplier schedules for insurance submissions
More accurate and timely claims processing
Enhanced annual risk reporting and insurance program reviews

Why supply chain visibility matters

By gaining comprehensive supply chain visibility, organizations can transform complexity into clarity — turning data into prioritized actions that strengthen resilience and reduce disruption impact.

Hidden risk sits beyond Tier 1: Critical dependencies and shared sub-suppliers often remain invisible until a disruption occurs, exposing organizations to unexpected vulnerabilities.
Concentration creates single points of failure: Multiple products, plants, or regions may rely on the same supplier, site, or logistics lane without it being obvious, increasing disruption risk.
Faster impact assessment during incidents: Visibility enables teams to quickly identify affected suppliers and sites, determine escalation paths, and activate alternatives to minimize downtime.
Better prioritization of resilience investment: Mapping supports a ranked view of exposures, guiding where to focus efforts such as dual sourcing, inventory strategies, or contingency planning.
Stronger governance and due diligence: A clearer view of suppliers and sites supports internal reporting and regulatory compliance.
Improved cross-functional alignment: Creates a shared picture for procurement, risk, operations, business continuity, cyber, and compliance teams to act on consistent, reliable data.

Take the first step — connect with a Marsh specialist to explore how Sentrisk can help you identify exposures and act faster.

Sentrisk empowers organizations to achieve a clearer, multi-tier view of their supply chains, enabling teams to identify hidden risks before they escalate. Supply chain visibility means going beyond Tier 1 suppliers to uncover shared sub-suppliers, critical sites, and concentration points that can create single points of failure.

Core capabilities include:

Supply chain visibility and mapping . Map your supplier networks across multiple tiers, uncovering hidden relationships and highlighting geographic and supplier concentrations. 
Risk insight and prioritization.  Quantify and prioritize exposures by their potential impact on revenue, operations, and service with Sentrisk analysis, including a proprietary risk score and ranking, on a scale of one to 1000, to help you prioritize your mitigation efforts.  
Real-time monitoring and early-warning signals . Stay ahead of disruptions with real-time alerts on changes in supplier and location risk profiles. Threshold-based notifications help you detect emerging risks early, supporting an ongoing risk review cadence that keeps your supply chain resilient. 
Scenario and impact assessment . Evaluate potential disruption scenarios with “what-if” modeling to compare mitigation options and trade-offs. Support informed incident response planning and strategic decision-making under uncertainty. 
Reporting and governance . Access executive-ready dashboards and summaries, complete with audit trails and evidence inputs, to facilitate transparent governance and cross-functional collaboration. 
More detailed insurance submissions. A key feature of Sentrisk is the ability to generate  Supplier+ and Snapshot reports to improve your property damage and business interruption insurance submissions, with more detailed, validated, and up-to-date supplier data.

FAQs

Supply chain visibility means having a clear, end-to-end view of your entire supply network — including suppliers, sites, and dependencies across multiple tiers — so you can identify risks and manage disruptions proactively.

Map beyond Tier 1 suppliers, integrate diverse data sources, continuously monitor supplier risks, and collaborate across functions to maintain an up-to-date, comprehensive supply chain picture.

Gather existing supplier and site data, then use tools like Sentrisk to build a multi-tier map that uncovers hidden relationships and dependencies, followed by analysis to identify concentration risks and single points of failure.

You can map multiple tiers beyond tier T, including sub-suppliers and critical sites, components, and products, to reveal hidden dependencies and risks not visible in traditional supplier lists.

No, perfect data is not required. You can begin with available information and progressively enhance the map with ongoing monitoring and data updates.

Unlike static lists or spreadsheets, supply chain visibility with Sentrisk is dynamic, continuously updated, and provides actionable insights — prioritizing risks and enabling faster decision-making during disruptions.

Yes, the mapping process can be tailored to focus on specific product lines, regions, or categories to address the most critical areas first before expanding to the full supply chain.

You will receive a practical, multi-tier supply chain map, prioritized risk insights highlighting critical suppliers and concentration hotspots, and ongoing monitoring alerts to support mitigation and incident response.

By providing real-time insights into affected suppliers and sites, visibility enables quicker impact assessment, escalation, and activation of contingency plans to minimize disruption.

Yes, it provides clear evidence of supplier due diligence and risk management, supporting internal reporting and compliance with operational resilience and governance requirements.
