Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of supply chain security management on the functioning of modern organizations, with a particular focus on operational continuity, financial stability, and compliance with legal regulations. It aims to assess how effective security management strategies contribute to risk reduction and improve overall supply chain performance. Design/methodology/approach: The research problem that serves as the starting point for the study is formulated as follows: How does supply chain security management affect the operational and strategic functioning of modern organizations? The hypothesis posits that effective supply chain security management significantly enhances an organization's operational stability, reduces financial risks, and promotes regulatory compliance, which translates into increased competitiveness and positive financial outcomes. Appropriate research methods were employed in the study. A comprehensive literature review on supply chain security management, risk management models, and compliance frameworks was conducted. Additionally, a case study was performed, and an analysis of survey reports directed at supply chain managers across various industries was carried out. Data collected from these sources were analyzed to identify patterns, correlations, and insights regarding the implementation of security measures and their impact on organizational performance. Findings: The study reveals that effective supply chain security management significantly improves operational continuity by mitigating risks associated with data breaches, supply disruptions, and non-compliance with legal regulations. Furthermore, organizations that prioritize security within their supply chains experience better financial stability and a stronger competitive position. The research also emphasizes that compliance with regulations, particularly those such as GDPR and ISO 27001, is crucial for protecting both organizational data and reputation. Practical Implications: The findings highlight the need for organizations to invest in robust security measures within their supply chains to ensure long-term operational success. It is recommended that companies conduct regular risk assessments, perform thorough supplier audits, and align their practices with international standards and regulations. Such an approach will help mitigate risks and ensure compliance, thereby strengthening trust among stakeholders and customers. Originality/Value: This research contributes to updating existing literature by offering a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between supply chain security management and organizational performance. It presents practical frameworks that companies can adopt to enhance the resilience of their supply chains. The originality of the study lies in its focus on the areas of security, risk management, and legal compliance, providing practical insights for contemporary organizations.
