For TAPA Coordinators + Cargo Security Teams
Cargo security teams have to chase the densest, fastest-moving certification stack in the supply chain. TAPA FSR 2024 (replacing the 2020 standard). TSR for the trucking program. PSR for high-risk parking. C-TPAT MSC overlap. AEO mutual recognition across the EU. IIS incident reporting. RiskWatch handles all of it as one survey-based assessment platform sized for TAPA coordinators, multi-region 3PLs, and high-value-cargo operators.
Trusted by 3PLs, carriers, and high-value-cargo operators managing TAPA FSR + TSR + PSR programs, C-TPAT and AEO cross-mapping, IIS incident reporting, and multi-region (Americas + EMEA + APAC) certification cycles across warehouses, distribution centers, fleets, and parking facilities.
Why TAPA Coordinators Pick RiskWatch
RiskWatch runs TAPA FSR 2024, TSR, PSR, CBP C-TPAT Minimum Security Criteria, EU AEO Mutual Recognition, ISO 28000, and IIS incident reporting as one program on one platform, scored against the same controls library, and tracked through a single certification-ready evidence trail. Built for cargo security + supply chain security teams where one TAPA coordinator covers every facility, every lane, every parking location, and every region, without enterprise-bank GRC overhead.
All three TAPA standards cross-mapped against the same controls library. Level 1/2/3 facility scoring + Level 1/2/3 trucking scoring + PSR parking-location scoring share evidence, no parallel binders.
CBP C-TPAT Minimum Security Criteria + EU AEO Authorised Economic Operator requirements are tracked as overlays. One access-review and one container-inspection record satisfies TAPA, C-TPAT, and AEO simultaneously.
Director cargo security + TAPA coordinator + site security manager share one platform. Pre-built libraries cut prep time. White-glove implementation in 30 days, not 6 months.
The TAPA Standards Landscape
TAPA FSR 2024 is in force, replacing the 2020 standard, and applies across Americas, EMEA, and APAC chapters. TSR has matured into a tiered trucking standard mirroring FSR's three levels. PSR addresses the high-risk parking facilities where cargo crime concentrates. The IIS incident-information service shares peer cargo-crime intelligence in real time. WCO research puts global cargo crime losses near $224B/year. Each standard wants its own evidence package.
Three Domains, One Platform
RiskWatch covers all three. Each domain has a dedicated workflow, scoring model, and remediation queue. They share data so a single facility-walk record satisfies TAPA FSR §2.x physical-security clauses, C-TPAT MSC physical-access criteria, AEO security and safety standards, and ISO 28000 controls simultaneously.
Survey-based risk assessment across cargo theft, in-transit diversion, insider threat, and parking risk, aligned to TAPA FSR + TSR + PSR + ISO 28000.
TAPA FSR 2024, TSR, PSR, CBP C-TPAT Minimum Security Criteria, EU AEO MRA, and ISO 28000 in one cross-mapped library.
TAPA physical-security controls, access-management evidence, CCTV retention checks, and GPS/telematics tracking across every facility and lane.
The Coverage Gap
TMS platforms cover load planning + carrier compliance. Cargo-security specialty tools cover one standard. Customs/trade tools cover declarations. Internal audit covers controls. Insurance carrier tools push their own questionnaires. Each does one job. TAPA coordinators still operate four parallel programs.

RiskWatch is the only platform covering all six TAPA compliance domains: TAPA FSR 2024, TSR, PSR, CBP C-TPAT MSC, EU AEO MRA, and multi-region (Americas + EMEA + APAC) coordination. TMS platforms cover load planning. Cargo-security specialty covers monitoring. Customs/trade tools cover declarations. Each does one job. RiskWatch unifies all six in one survey-based assessment workflow.
How It Works
RiskWatch is a survey-based assessment platform. The work is structured around questionnaires that capture cargo-security, trucking, parking, and trade-compliance posture in a consistent format, then scored against every framework you align to.
For TAPA programs, that workflow runs continuously across FSR 2024 facility scoring (Levels 1/2/3), TSR trucking scoring (Levels 1/2/3), PSR parking-location scoring, CBP C-TPAT Minimum Security Criteria, EU AEO Mutual Recognition requirements, and ISO 28000 supply-chain security. A single facility walk satisfies FSR §2.x, C-TPAT MSC physical-access criteria, AEO security and safety standards, and ISO 28000 controls simultaneously.
The same platform runs all of it, surfaces gaps before auditor arrival, assigns remediation owners, and tracks completion. Replace the four parallel tools and the spreadsheet bridge between them.

RiskWatch ships with pre-built libraries for every major TAPA standard, customs/trade program, and supply-chain security regulation. Map controls once. Score against the framework that matters this audit cycle.
Trusted by 1,500+ risk and compliance teams
We had three program owners running FSR, TSR, and C-TPAT/AEO on three different tools. Now it's one platform. FSR Level A scoring on 12 sites, TSR Level 1 on the dedicated fleet, PSR on the high-risk lots, and C-TPAT plus AEO cross-mapping all run from the same evidence vault. Our last IAB audit found two minor non-conformances instead of nine.
