Suppliers, retail and logistics

# Supplier files rebuilt before your teams open them.

You do not just receive parts from your suppliers. You receive their drawings, specifications, quality reports and software updates, from companies whose security you do not control. klearis rebuilds each file with Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) before engineering, quality or procurement opens it.

![A robotic arm and conveyor feeding parts and drawings through a scanning ring](https://klearis.com/hubfs/klearis/c-factory.webp)

The challenge

## Every supplier file is untrusted, because it is.

CAD files, specs, invoices and firmware arrive from hundreds of vendor systems, and vendor security posture is not something you control.

VENDORSCAD files, specs, invoices and firmware from hundreds of systems.

POSTURESupplier security is outside your control.

ENGINEERINGFiles reach engineering and production planning.

How klearis fits

A real example

## A revised specification from a supplier.

An engineer receives a revised part specification and opens it at a workstation in engineering.

01The file comes from a supplier you rarely hear from.

02The document carries an embedded object.

03Engineering workstations hold designs and connect to production planning.

WHAT HAPPENS TO IT

ANTIVIRUSFinds no known threat, so the file passes. Not recognized is not the same as safe.

SANDBOXEngineering files are rarely routed through a sandbox.

KLEARISThe specification is rebuilt before it is opened. Engineering works from clean files.

Who it is for

## Manufacturers, retailers, logistics providers and anyone with a long supplier list.

Every supplier relationship includes a file exchange: specifications, drawings, quality documentation, invoices and software updates. Supplier security maturity varies, and a compromised supplier is a direct path in.

ENGINEERINGDrawings and specifications from design partners.

QUALITYCertificates and inspection reports from suppliers.

PROCUREMENTQuotes, invoices and onboarding documents from new vendors.

RETAIL AND LOGISTICSPrice lists, purchase orders, manifests and customs documents from suppliers, carriers and brokers.

What changes

## Treat every supplier file the same way.

Your suppliers' security is not yours to control. Their files are. klearis rebuilds files from every supplier, so security does not depend on how well each vendor protects itself.

ENGINEERINGOpen supplier files without hesitation.

PROCUREMENTOnboard new suppliers without new risk.

SECURITYOne policy for every vendor.

FAQ

## Questions about Supply Chain File Security

### How is this different from OT/IT Boundary Protection?

This page covers files arriving from suppliers. OT/IT Boundary Protection covers files crossing into the plant network itself. klearis handles both.

### Can files from partner systems be sanitized automatically?

Yes. Files from partner exchange folders are sanitized in batch by Server Agent, and portals can connect through the REST API.

### Will rebuilt spreadsheets still work?

Yes. Text, images and layout stay as they were. Trusted macros can be whitelisted through policy management and are preserved.

Next step

## Let's run it on your files.

Process real files, see what gets removed, and verify that document fidelity is preserved.
