Secure

Every day, Europe exports hundreds of millions of euros worth of goods and imports hundreds of millions more. This makes the European Union a dynamic place to do business but it is also an increasingly challenging market for any company without a resilient supply chain security strategy.

According to the Transported Asset Protection Association’s (TAPA) Incident Information Service (IIS) 565 number of new cargo crimes recorded by TAPA's IIS in March 2023. Biggest recorded loss in month: - €5,680,000 - Cargo thieves stole cash from an Authorised 3rd Part Facility in Slough, UK, on 29 March 2023.  24 - Number of major incidents with a loss of value over € 100k+. 7,3 % or 41 of the recorded incidents took place in Unclassified Parking locations. This is why it is so important to push for more secured parking areas and standards that are acceptable.

PSR has been established by TAPA's security professionals within the industry, to address secure parking of theft sensitive products which are transported over road. The PSR specifies the minimum acceptable security standard and the methods to be used in maintaining those standards.

According to BSI's Global Supply Chain Intelligence report, numerous factors are influencing supply chain risks gloabally. These risks include security, social responsibility, and business continuity, many of which are provoked by one another.
