ORGANIZATION CAN CARRY OUT ITS OPERATIONS WITHOUT
ANY INTERFERENCE FROM INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL
THREATS WITH THE EXISTENCE OF ADEQUATE SECURITY
CONTROL MEASURES.
“AN EXPECTED IDEAL SITUATION”
What is Security?

STABLE ENVIRONMENT
SECURE ENVIRONMENT
SECURITY IS A SAFE ENVIRONMENT

A Supply Chain (SC) is a system of organizations, people,
activities, information and resources involved in moving a
product or service from supplier to customer.
What is a Supply Chain?

An Organization in the SC:
 An entity that manufactures, handles, processes,
loads,consolidates, unloads or receives goods
satisfying a purchase order that at some point cross an
international or eonomy border;

 An entity that transports goods by any mode in the
international SC regardless of whether their particular
segment of the SC crosses national (or economy)
boundaries;

Or
 An entity that provides, manages or conducts the
generation, distribution or flow of shipping
information used by customs agencies or in
business practices.

Besides Criminal and Terrorist activities, the key
factors
that may engender Security Risks in SC that disrupts
business goals are:
 SC involves many players
 Multiple modes of transport
 Various types of Intermediaries
 Several government agencies globally
 Complexity of the system leads to challenges
 Security Directors need C-suite support
 The human element.

Therefore in BUSINESS context, SECURITY is a CRITICAL
component which MUST ensure a SAFE, STABLE and SECURE
environment to conduct business operations throughout
Supply Chain.

INTRODUCTION
TO
CTPAT
(CTPAT: CUSTOMS TRADE PARTNERSHIP AGAINST
TERRORISM)
From its inception in November 2001, CTPAT continued
to grow. Today, more than 11,400 certified partners
spanning the gamut of the trade community, have
been accepted into the program.

The US Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism seeks
to safeguard the world’s vibrant trade industry from
terrorists, maintaining the economic health of the US and
its neighbours. The partnership develops and adopts
collaboration that add security value across SC.
CTPAT

Aim: C-TPAT, which stands for Customs Trade Partnership
Against Terrorism, was established in 2001 with the intention of
being a strong layer within U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s
(CBP) multi-layered cargo enforcement defensive system. C-
TPAT is a voluntary partnership program which is recognized by
CBP as being one of the highest levels of SC security designed
to prevent and mitigate threat and risk.
https://divineflavor.com/2020/06/01/c-tpat-minimum-security-requirements/

SC Threshold: CTPAT defines the SC link as
beginning at the point of origin - where cargo
destined for export to the United States has been
made, assembled, grown and/or packed for export -
and ending at point of distribution in the United
States.

Thus, CTPAT Members must ensure the security of their
cargo at every point in their supply chain link. The
following SC link map demonstrates potential 16
locations where cargo could be compromised.
Importantly, these are all locations where a validation
site visit by SCSS could take place to ensure that a
Member or business partner is meeting the CTPAT
security criteria.

Prevention
&
Mitigation Benefits

Benefits: Members who participate in the C-TPAT
program are considered to be low-risk, these
sectors can be exempt or partake in a variety of
benefits including: A reduction of CBP
examinations, front of the line inspections for
carriers, shorter wait times at the border, and
probably most important- stronger SC security.

SC Security - Collateral Benefits

Basis for Security Model: In order to engender the defined
benefits, CTPAT recognizes the complexity of international SC
and endorses the application of security measures based
upon risk. The program allows for flexibility and the
customization of security plans based on the Member’s
business model. Hence, it is expected, that appropriate and
effective Security Model be implemented and maintained
based on threat and risk throughout the Member’s SC link.

 Inevitably, the global SC continues to be targeted by
terrorists and criminal organizations, underscoring
the need for increased security measures to secure
their supply chains. Besides, cyberattacks or other
types of data breaches too continue to increase and
all sizes and types of companies are at risk.

d17b0c13ed1b&v=&b=&from_search=1
Current security threats causing SC disruptions are:
Terrorism
Organized Crime and Cargo Theft
Hijacking and Piracy
Drug/Human smuggling
Illegal Weapons/Contrabands
Counterfeit Goods
Illegal exports of licensed materials/technology
Cyber attacks

CTPAT Key Security Objectives
Security Awareness: Opportunity of having
employees understand how smuggling, theft,
organized crime networks work including terrorist
contraband infilitration into the SC . It will help
identify the potential threats and risks.
Security and Efficiency: Efficient SC is a more
secured environment, which helps overall in
conveying your commitment amongst the
international community. Reputation is enhanced.

CTPAT AS THE ANCHOR IN LAYERED SECURITY MODEL
1. WCO Framework of Standards
2. ISO/PAS 28000 Outlines Security Management for SC
3. ICAO Annex 17 for Regulated Agents Regime
4. TAPA Freight Security Requirements
5. Customs-Trade Partnership against Terrorism (CTPAT).

CTPAT OBLIGATIONS
THE MINIMUM SECURITY CRITERIA

Since SC Domain is multi-faceted and is beleagured by
multiple challenges and risk from point of packaging to
point of receipt. The CTPAT approach to address the SC risks
has been structured in such a manner, covering the key
security processes in order to ensure that the entire SC
link is mitigated to RESIDUAL RISK, ensuring business
operational continuity is uninterrupted.

Hence the Introduction of
= 12
New CTPAT Minimum Security Criteria
(February 2020)

1. SECURITY VISION
&
RESPONSIBILITY

In promoting and instilling a culture of security, CTPAT
Members should demonstrate their commitment to SC
security and the CTPAT program by satisfying the New CTPAT
Minimum Security Criteria (MSC) Requirements through a
statement of support.
Introduction

Incorporating MSC as an integral part of a company’s
security culture conforming to CTPAT program, it is
company-wide priority and in large part the responsibility
of the company’s top leadership to make a comprehensive
security vision statement to ensure the SC security
program remains visible and effective.
Introduction....Cont’d

 Promoting a work culture of security
 Building a robust supply-chain security program
 Creating a written and documented program
 Having a team knowledgeable of the CTPAT program and
its requirements
 Implementation of the CTPAT program must satisfy the
customers requirements.
Factors to Consider Vision Statement

Activity No.1
As a potential member of CTPAT, write a vision statement of SC
security support for your company.
Statement of support should highlight the importance of
protecting the supply chain from criminal activities such as drug
trafficking, human smuggling, and illegal contraband from
terrorist initiatives.

The following criteria and implementation guidance
shall facilitate the development of appropriate
procedural security measures in satisfying CTPAT
Minimum Security Criteria requirements.

Criteria and Implementation Guidance:
 Senior company officials who should support
and sign the statement may include the
President, CEO, General Manager, or Security
Director. Areas to display the statement of
support include the company's website, on
posters in key areas of the company (reception;
packaging; warehouse; etc.), and/or be part of
company security seminars, etc.

To build a robust SC security program, a company
should incorporate representatives from all of
the relevant departments into a cross-functional
team.
These new security measures developed for the
SC security program should be included in
existing company procedures, which creates a
more sustainable structure and emphasizes that
supply chain security is everyone's responsibility.

Security programs built on a more traditional,
security department-based model may be less
viable over the long run because the
responsibility to carry out the security measures
are concentrated among fewer employees, and,
as a result,may be susceptible to the loss of key
personnel.

 The SC security program must be implemented by an
appropriate written review component for the purpose of
holding personnel accountable for their responsibilities
and all security procedures outlined by the security
program. The review plan must be updated as needed
based on pertinent changes in an organization’s
operations and level of risk.

The company’s point(s) of contact (POC) to CTPAT must
be knowledgeable about CTPAT program requirements.
These individuals need to provide regular updates to
upper management on issues related to the program,
including the progress or outcomes of any audits,
security related exercises, and CTPAT validations.

CTPAT expects the designated POC to be a proactive
individual who engages and is responsive to his or her
SC Security Specialist. Members may identify
additional individuals who may help support this
function by listing them as contacts in the CTPAT Portal.

2. RISK ASSESSMENT
The new MSC employs a risk-based approach, explicitly
designating each criteria within the 12 categories as a
"must" or a "should" based on risk.

2. RISK ASSESSMENT
The continuing threat of terrorist groups and criminal
organizations targeting supply chains underscores the
for Members to assess existing and potential exposure to
evolving threats.
CTPAT recognizes that when a company has multiple
chains with numerous business partners, it faces greater
complexity in securing those supply chains due to
risk factor.

CTPAT recognizes that when a company has multiple supply
chains with numerous business partners, it faces greater
complexity in securing those SC. Terrorist groups and
criminal organizations targeting SC expose these members
to multiple threats and attendant risks. Hence members
should focus on vulnerable areas that have higher risk and
carry out risk management process involving preventive
and mitigation measures.
Introduction

 CTPAT Members must conduct and document the
amount of risk in their supply chains. CTPAT Members
must conduct an overall risk assessment (RA) to identify
where security vulnerabilities may exist. The RA must
identify threats, assess risks, and incorporate
sustainable measures to mitigate vulnerabilities. The
Member must take into account CTPAT requirements
specific to the Member’s role in the supply chain.
Implementation Guidance:

 The overall risk assessment (RA) is made up of two
key parts. The first part is a self-assessment of the
the Member’s SC security practices, procedures, and
procedures, and policies within the facilities that it
that it controls to verify its adherence to CTPAT’s
CTPAT’s minimum-security criteria, and an overall
overall management review of how it is managing
managing risk.

 The second part of the RA is the international risk
assessment. This portion of the RA includesthe
identification of geographical threat(s) based on the
Member’s business model and role in the SC.
When looking at the possible impact of each threat on
the security of the Member’s SC, the Member needs a
method to assess or differentiate between levels of risk.
A simple method is assigning the level of risk between
low, medium, and high (risk matrix).

 CTPAT developed the Five Step Risk Assessment guide as an aid to
conducting the international risk assessment portion of a
Member’s overall risk assessment, and it can be found on U.S.
Customs and Border Protection’s website at:
https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/documents/CTPAT%27s
%20Five%20Step%20Risk%20Assessment%20Process.pdf.
Note: For Members with extensive supply chains, the primary focus is
expected to be on areas of higher risk.

To Ensure the Workplace (Components of Your Supply Chain Domain)
is ADEQUATELY SAFE with LIMITED EXPOSURE to RISK from its Operating
Environment. CTPAT members are to OBSERVE the following
PROTOCOLS:
 Promoting a work culture of security in the organization
 Building a robust supply-chain security program
 Creating a written and documented program
 Having a team knowledgeable of the CTPAT program and its
requirements for effective implementation.

When a company has numerous supply chains, it should focus on
geographical areas/supply chains that have higher risk. When
determining risk within their supply chains, Members must consider
various factors such as the business model, geographic location of
suppliers, and other aspects that may be unique to a specific supply
chain. Therefore Risk Mitigation Initiatives shall at all times focus on
strategies to limit RISK exposure at workplace.

To mitigate a risk really means to limit the exposure in some way. This
could include reducing the likelihood of occurence, decreasing the
severity of the impact . Mitigation does not imply a complete
elimination of risk , just a reduction to an acceptable level. Thus, as
part of risk management, CTPAT members are expected to initiate the
following in the process of mitigation:
 Document the risk in the SC and conduct an assessment
 Map out the movement of cargo
 Review annually
 Have written procedures

3.0 BUSINESS PARTNERS
CTPAT Members engage with a variety of business partners, both
domestically and internationally. For those business partners who
directly handle cargo and/or import/export documentation, it is crucial
for the Member to ensure that these business partners have
appropriate security measures in place to secure the goods throughout
the international supply chain.

3.1 BUSINESS PARTNERS REQUIREMENTS:

assembly, or manufacturing and review the business parner
based on risk and that are maintaining the security tandards
required by YOU.
 US bound shipments should be monitored that CTPAT carriers
being used or non CTPAT carriers that they are meeting the CTPAT
security criteria as outlined above for business partner
requirements.

4. CYBERSECURITY
In today’s digital world, cybersecurity is the key to safeguarding a
company’s most precious assets:
 intellectual property
 customer information
 financial and trade data
 employee records, among others
With increased connectivity to the internet comes the risk of a
breach of a company’s information systems.

CYBERSECURITY...... Cont’d
Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and
programs from digital attacks. These cyberattacks are usually aimed
at accessing, changing, or destroying sensitive information; extorting
money from users; or interrupting normal business processes.

Cybersecurity is the activity or process that focuses on:
 protecting computers
 networks, programs
 data from unintended or unauthorized access
 change or destruction.

It is the process of identifying, analyzing, assessing, and
communicating a cyber-related risk and accepting, avoiding,
transferring, or mitigating it to an acceptable level, considering costs
and benefits taken.
Cybersecurity threat pertains to businesses of all types and sizes.
Measures to secure a company’s information technology (IT) and data
are of paramount importance, and the listed CTPAT criteria provide a
foundation for an overall cybersecurity program for Members.

Listed Criteria include:

CYBERSECURITY..... Cont’d

5. CONVEYANCE AND INSTRUMENTS OF INTERNATIONAL TRAFFIC SECURITY
Smuggling schemes often involve the modification of conveyances
and Instruments of International Traffic (IIT), or the hiding of
contraband inside IIT.
This criteria category covers security measures designed to prevent,
detect, and/or deter the altering of IIT structures or surreptitious entry
into them, which could allow the introduction of unauthorized material
or persons.

 Cargo/Trucks, also known as Conveyances and Instruments of
International Traffic (IIT) must be stored in a secure area to
prevent unauthorized personnel.
 Must have written procedures for security and agricultural
inspections
 Ensuring inspections are being carried out.
 Alerting Business Partners of any threats to the shipment

C-TPAT and ISO 17712 Compliant - Container Barrier Seals

6. SEAL SECURITY
The sealing of trailers and containers, to include continuous
seal integrity, continues to be a crucial element of a secure
supply chain. Seal security includes having a
comprehensive written seal policy that addresses:
 All aspects of seal security
 Using the correct seals per CTPAT requirements
 Properly placing a seal on an IIT
 Verifying that the seal has been affixed properly

 Must have a written high-security seal procedure.

appropriate foreign authority.
Exporters – Point of Sealing...Cont’d

Procedural Security involves security controls that mitigate
identified risks by way of policies, procedures or guidelines.
As opposed to other controls, procedural controls rely on
users to follow RULES or perform certain steps that are not
necessarily enforced by technical or physical means.
Introduction

Introduction .....Cont’d
Procedural Security encompasses many aspects of the
import-export process, documentation, and cargo storage and
handling requirements. Other vital procedural criteria pertain
to reporting incidents and notification to pertinent law
enforcement.

Additionally, CTPAT often requires that procedures be
written because it helps maintain a uniform process over
time. Nevertheless, the amount of detail needed for these
written procedures will depend upon various elements
such as a company’s business model or what is covered
by the procedure.

Introduction
 Agriculture is the largest industry and employment sector
in the U.S. Dating back to last century, the Plant Quarantine
Act of 1912 authorized the U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) to inspect agricultural products, to organize border
quarantines and to restrict entry of infested agricultural
goods.

 Of late the industry is threatened by the introduction of
foreign animal and plant contaminants such as soil,
manure, seeds, and plant and animal material which may
harbour invasive and destructive pests and diseases
posing great RISK.
Introduction.... Cont’d

 Eliminating contaminants thereby reducing risks in all
conveyances and in all types of cargo may decrease CBP
cargo holds, delays, and commodity returns or
treatments.
 It is envisaged that, incorporating eliminating
procedures in compliance with CTPAT’s agricultural
requirements will also help protect from risks affecting
the key industry in the U.S. and the overall global food SC.
Introduction.... Cont’d

Pest Contamination & Risk
 Pest contamination as visible forms of animals, insects or
other invertebrates (alive or dead), or any organic material of
animal origin (including blood, bones, hair, flesh, secretions,
excretions bear risks when left unattended.

 Similarly, viable or non-viable plants or plant products
(including fruit, seeds, leaves, twigs, roots, bark); or
other organic material, including fungi; or soil, or water;
where such products are not the manifested cargo
within instruments of international traffic also shall
bear risks.

Criteria & Implementation Guidance
 Visible pest prevention measures must be adhered
to throughout the SC. Measures regarding WPM
must meet the International Plant Protection
Convention’s (IPPC) International Standards for
Phytosanitary (health of plants) Measures No. 15
(ISPM 15).

 CTPAT Members must, in accordance with their business
model, have written procedures designed to prevent
visible pest contamination to include compliance with
Wood Packaging Materials (WPM) regulations.

 Additionally, CTPAT Members must have written
procedures to prevent pest and to include wood
compliance with the packing materials. International
standards for Phytosanitary Measures.

Note:
WPM includes items such as pallets, crates, boxes, reels,
and dunnage. Frequently, these items are made of raw wood
that may not have undergone sufficient processing or
treatment to remove or kill pests, and therefore remain a
pathway for the introduction and spread of pests. Dunnage
in particular has been shown to present a high risk of
introduction and spread of pests

9. PHYSICAL SECURITY
Cargo handling and storage facilities, Instruments of International
Traffic storage areas, and facilities where import/export
documentation is prepared in domestic and foreign locations must
have physical barriers and deterrents that guard against unauthorized
access.

 Offices and facilities must have physical barriers to prevent
unauthorized access.
 Gates where employees/guest enter/exit must be monitored
frequently.
 Private parking shall not be adjacent to cargo parking
 Facilities and offices have adequate lighting outside the facility
and in the parking section.
 Cameras are highly recommended and encouraged.
PHYSICAL SECURITY.... Cont’d

10. PHYSICAL ACCESS CONTROLS
Access controls prevent unauthorized access into facilities/areas,
help maintain control of employees and visitors, and protect
company assets. Access controls include the positive identification
of all employees, visitors, service providers, and vendors at all points
of entry.
 Identification badges and special keys to access the
facility/offices.
 Drivers delivering packages must be identified before delivering.
 Visitors must be screened and show identification.
 Using security guards and having written policies.

11. PERSONNEL SECURITY
A company’s human resource force is one of its most critical assets,
but it may also be one of its weakest security links. The criteria in this
category focus on issues such as employee screening and pre-
employment verifications. Screen employees before hire (Background
checks, employment history, etc.). Have an employee code of conduct
policy in place.
Many security breaches are caused by internal conspiracies, which is
where one or more employees collude to circumvent security
procedures aimed at allowing an infiltration of the supply chain.

Therefore, CTPAT members must exercise due diligence to verify that
employees filling sensitive positions are reliable and trustworthy.
Sensitive positions include staff working directly with cargo or its
documentation, as well as personnel involved in controlling access to
sensitive areas or equipment.
Such positions include, but are not limited to, shipping, receiving,
mailroom personnel, drivers, dispatch, security guards, any individuals
involved in load assignments, tracking of conveyances, and/or seal
controls.
PERSONNEL SECURITY.... Cont’d

As a supplier and or exporter of goods to the Unites States, QCWintess plays a critical role in the security of the international
supply chain.

12.0 EDUCATION, TRAINING, AND AWARENESS
CTPAT’s security criteria are designed to form the basis of a layered
security system. If one layer of security is overcome, another layer
should prevent a security breach, or alert a company to a breach.
Implementing and maintaining a layered security program needs
the active participation and support of several departments and
various personnel.

One of the key aspects to maintaining a security program is training.
Educating employees on what the threats are and how their role is
important in protecting the company’s supply chain is a significant
aspect to the success and endurance of a supply chain security
program.
Moreover, when employees
understand why security
procedures are in place,
they are much more
likely to adhere to them.
