TORONTO – As U.S. companies become certified for Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism, they are requiring their supply chain to become compliant. FutureShield is providing an evaluation service to help the 18,000 Canadian manufacturers comply with the new U.S. regulations.
The evaluation covers the following areas:
Container Security
Fencing and Gates
Building Structure
Intrusion Alarms
Key Control and Locks
CCTV
Lighting
Security Officers
Employee Policy
Visitor Policy
Deliveries and Mail
IT Security
OBN Security and Investigative Consultants provide a complete C-TPAT security review including mitigation recommendations to assist corporations in meeting compliance guidelines. Their expert assessors will not only provide a written report after the assessment but a consultation to help stakeholders understand the results of the report. Following mitigation, a follow-up assessment provides another report that can be used as a base for uploading information to the CPB web portal.
?Security assessments, historically, have been a very expensive process,? OBN CEO Bill Henderson said. ?Because OBN believes that all Canadian exporting manufacturers deserve the opportunity for continued export business, the assessment service is priced competitively for companies of all size. Assessors are available to go into any part of Canada to complete the services. In addition, we have chosen a powerful assessment software solution from FutureShield that allows our assessors to conduct the assessment in an expedited fashion, further reducing the cost to our clients.?
FutureShield CEO, Cynthia Weeden recognized the need for a C-TPAT software after carefully studying the requirements of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
