According to IPC-1792, when a cybersecurity incident occurs within an organization's supply chain (such as a factory), there should be a mechanism in place to provide timely notification of the incident downstream.
Specifically, a stakeholder performs a cybersecurity incident quick assessment (CIQA) when an incident occurs. Based on the results of this assessment, the impact area (target product) and impact level are analyzed, and the results are transmitted to downstream stakeholders.

IPC-1792 focuses on the following two minimum goals:
1) Rapidly notify supply chain customers of cybersecurity incidents affecting them, even in the event of an unknown attack
2) If the attack is an unknown one, having a framework to detect it quickly and notify critical supply chain stakeholders (and eventually all stakeholders in the supply chain)
IPC-1792 recommends that when a suspected cybersecurity incident occurs, the criteria for determining whether the event constitutes an incident should be prepared in advance. Based on these criteria, it is determined whether to notify other stakeholders in the supply chain about the incident.
It is essential that this judgment criterion be based on facts.
The core principle of IPC-1792 is to safeguard the integrity of shipped products by attaching a Digital Certificate. This certificate contains product details and a Digital Diploma verifying the product’s origin.
