high value, high risk products and their logistics service providers. The Trucking
Security Requirements (TSR) and TAPA Air Cargo Security Standards (TACSS) have
been established by security professionals within the high-tech industry to address
the nature by which high-tech products and materials are transported by road and
air. The TSR and TACSS specifies the minimum acceptable security standards for
assets traveling throughout the supply chain and the methods to be used in
maintaining those standards.
 TAPA members need reputable Telematics partners to provide professional &
technically qualified systems to monitor modes of transportation involving high
value targeted theft (HVTT) cargo. Any failure to provide these minimum
specifications could result in the control measures being compromised and
increase the chances of a theft occurring.
