Gartner: Coronavirus Leads to Security Concerns

According to an April 2020 Gartner survey of 145 legal and compliance leaders over half of respondents-- specifically 52%-- believe cybersecurity and data breach is the most increased 3rd party risk their organisations face.

Security“Remote working has been hastily adopted by suppliers to keep their business running, so it’s unlikely every organisation or employee is following best practices,” the analyst says. “Legal and compliance leaders are concerned about the new risks this highly disruptive environment has created for their organisations.”

Gartner continues by saying legal and compliance leaders need act sooner, not later, to mitigate 3rd party risk while enabling supply chain partners to flex to the current pressures on the systems. To do so, they need to manage the contractual risks and opportunities of current relationships, mitigate emerging issues and streamline due diligence for new 3rd parties. In addition, legal and compliance leaders should look at other ways to reduce the compliance burden on 3rd parties.

E-mail Print PDF

EMEA traditional PC (desktops, notebooks and workstations) shipments are down by -3.1% Y-o-Y to 16.4 million units in Q1 2020, IDC reports, as near-flat commercial growth (0.7% Y-o-Y) fails to offset heavy consumer decline (-8.5% Y-o-Y).

The W. European PC market is down by -1.2% Y-o-Y, with the commercial segment seeing "modest" 3% Y-o-Y while the consumer segment drops by -8.9% Y-o-Y. CEMA sees a "very challenging" Q1 2020 across all sectors, with consumers prioritising devices such as notebooks and tablets, while CEE records a "relatively small" -3.1% Y-o-Y decline as the commercial segment sees strong 4.2% Y-o-Y growth thanks to the fulfillment of some public and corporate tenders in the region.

IDC EMEA Q1 2020 PCs

On the other hand, MEA fails to sustain any growth in Q1 2020, leading to shipments falling by -10.8% Y-o-Y. Markets across the region have been badly affected by both supply chain constraints and prices. The commercial segment is worst hit as it contracts by -13.7% Y-o-Y, while the consumer segment sees a -7.9% Y-o-Y decline.
