Building Resilience: SMB Continuity and Vendor Risk with Rochelle Clarke

Episode notes

Small businesses are the backbone of the economy, but they are also often the "weakest link" in a global supply chain. In this episode of Risk Management: Brick by Brick , host Jason Reichl sits down with Rochelle Clarke, Founder of Continuity Strength , to discuss the vital importance of business continuity for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs). Rochelle shares her transition from a high-level strategy consultant at a global FMCG company to launching a tech-driven solution that productizes resilience. After experiencing a personal crisis in a family business where "no one knew where anything was," Rochelle realized that SMBs needed a simple, consistent way to manage risk. We dive into the "monitoring gap" in procurement, the reality of how attackers use small vendors as gateways to major corporations - citing the 2013 Target breach - and how AI is finally allowing small teams to oversee thousands of vendors with confidence.
