English term or phrase: integrated
HELP! Can someone QUICKLY explain this to me? The monster is marked. It is part of a future scenario:

As a result of digital transformation and the growing proliferation of e-procurement, the risk of supply chain disruption is also rapidly growing. Therefore, it doesn’t really help if a company succeeds in keeping its security standards up to date, since the Internet of Things and increasing machine-to-machine (M2M) information exchange are not only popular for their productivity driving properties, they are also developing into the perfect gateway for cyber criminals. Current studies show massive economic damage provoked by data security incidents. For large companies, such an incident causes damages averaging at 720,000 USD. When it comes to extensive supply chain networks and major supplier bases, cyber criminals obviously don’t aim for the strongest, most highly secured link in the chain, but for the weakest. Reports of cyber-attacks on third-party suppliers, to obtain, for example, confidential customer information, are on the rise. ### In this age of digital transformation, viable security leak prevention demands that integrated supply chains make an even greater effort to integrate digital information into an integrated assessment of the value chain’s protective architecture. ### Especially when companies increasingly follow the quantified enterprise trend, aiming to maximize data management for organizational knowledge production.

Or unified, combined, joined-up... It means bringing together all the different issues and fields involved.
The text is not very well written, but this seems fairly straightforward.

Obviously you can't say integrate and integrated in the same sentence. "Incorporate" would be better for the first one.

Ramey: It's not an IT term. "Integrated assessment" is just everyday business parlance. You don't mention that you're having any problems with "integrated supply chain", so I assume you know what that means.

horizontal and vertical (ISC)


Explanation:
horizontal and vertical (for the first instance of the word
integrated (for the second instance; self-explanatory)
comprehensive (for the third instance) (or comprehensive and interrelated)

"horizontal and vertical" can't really be said here, as it would sound awckard, but that is what it is saying.

==
having said that..

"supply chain integration" (ISC) actually has a specific meaning; it is a close alignment and coordination within a supply chain. (see reference below)

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Phil, and THANKS for your quick response, I've got to deliver tomorrow. What concerns me is the possibility of mis-editing an IT term here. I don't really 'see' what the author means by "integrate digital information into an integrated assessment of the value chain’s protective architecture'

Asker: Yes, that term is not troubling me. Can you look at my attempt in the discussion box? This is merely a case of intense stress and frustration with poor translation of what was probably 'jargonized' German.
