How a Tier 1 supply-chain operator cut TAPA audit prep 78% across 40+ sites.
Before RiskWatch: TAPA FSR evidence lived in 40 SharePoint folders, in 12 languages, on six continents. After: one site-rolling tenant, year-round evidence capture, and surveillance audits that took weeks instead of quarters.
Forty sites. Twelve languages. One renewal window.
The compliance team was treating TAPA FSR like 40 separate projects. Each renewal hit a wall the same way: evidence scattered, translations missing, sites unsure if they were Level 1, 2, or 3 ready.
40+ sites, 40 different audit folders
Each region kept TAPA FSR evidence in its own SharePoint. The headquarters compliance team had no single view of which site was ready and which was three findings behind.
Evidence chased across 12 languages
Site managers in 12 languages filed evidence in 12 formats. Cert renewals stalled while HQ translated CCTV-coverage reports and access-control logs into English.
Surveillance audits felt like the first one
Each surveillance window restarted the evidence-gathering loop. Site teams treated every audit as a one-off project instead of an always-on program.
One TAPA program. One tenant. Every site.
RiskWatch deployed the TAPA FSR 2024 library across every site in 90 days. The cross-mapping engine meant evidence collected for FSR also satisfied ISO 28000, C-TPAT, and AEO. Site managers worked in their own language. HQ saw a single rolled-up posture in real time.
TAPA FSR 2024 library, 40 sites in one tenant
All FSR Level 1, 2, and 3 controls pre-loaded with the 2024 standard guidance attached. Every site rolled up to a consolidated FSR posture so HQ could see readiness in real time.
Cross-mapped to ISO 28000, C-TPAT, and AEO
Site evidence collected once satisfied ISO 28000:2022, US C-TPAT MSC, and EU AEO security pillars. No more parallel binders for parallel audits.
Multilingual evidence intake
Site managers uploaded evidence in their local language. Role-based templates standardised the format. HQ saw consistent control coverage without doing the translation work itself.
Always-on surveillance posture
Year-round evidence capture meant surveillance windows became 4-week walkthroughs, not 12-week scrambles. ISMS-style continuous improvement, applied to physical site security.
For 12 years, surveillance week meant cancelled holidays for the security team. Last year the auditor arrived, opened the dashboard, pulled the evidence, and we closed at 5pm on Friday. That has never happened before.
From kickoff to a 100% pass rate, in twelve months.
Kickoff with global security leadership
Scoped the 40+ site rollout, mapped languages and regional auditors, defined the rollup hierarchy from site → region → enterprise.
First 8 sites live
Pilot sites across two regions onboarded. Evidence vault populated, FSR Level templates assigned, site managers trained in their own language.
All 40+ sites migrated
Region 6 came online last. Cross-mapping to ISO 28000 and C-TPAT activated. HQ ran its first single-pane FSR readiness review.
100% surveillance-audit pass rate
Every site that hit its surveillance window passed without major findings. Per-site audit time dropped from 12 weeks to 4. Compliance-ops headcount redirected from audit prep to risk treatment.
One evidence base. Six frameworks satisfied.
The cross-mapping engine means TAPA evidence also closes ISO 28000, C-TPAT, AEO, and the TAPA TSR/PSR variants where they apply. No parallel binders.
Primary certification, Levels 1 / 2 / 3 across all 40+ facilities. Multisite Certification scope.
Supply-chain security management system, cross-mapped to TAPA FSR.
Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism, Minimum Security Criteria covered by shared evidence.
Authorised Economic Operator security pillars, satisfied by the same TAPA evidence base under the MRA.
Trucking Security Requirements applied where in-transit security is in scope.
Parking Security Requirements applied at high-risk hubs.
