Securing Goods on the Move
Cargo is most vulnerable during transit. Transportation Security Audits focus on verifying security controls and preventive measures across road, sea, air, and rail logistics networks to ensure goods remain protected, traceable, and tamper-free throughout their journey.
BQCIS audits evaluate compliance with recognized frameworks such as TAPA TSR (Trucking Security Requirements), C-TPAT (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism), and internal company standards. We assess critical aspects including vehicle security (locks, seals, GPS), driver and crew vetting, route risk assessment, secure parking management, and incident handling procedures.
Our expert auditors combine field verification with documentation review to assess transportation partners, ensuring adherence to supply chain integrity standards and helping clients reduce theft, delay, and cargo loss incidents.

Success Story
TAPA TSR Audit Boosts Security for Electronics Carrier
A regional trucking firm transporting high-value electronics faced client pressure to comply with TAPA TSR Level 1 standards but lacked internal expertise to assess compliance readiness.
BQCIS conducted a comprehensive transportation audit across its fleet, verifying vehicle tracking, driver vetting, secure parking, and seal control procedures. Our team guided remediation and documentation alignment with TAPA requirements.
Within 8 weeks, the carrier achieved TAPA TSR Level 1 certification, demonstrating secure cargo handling practices and winning new logistics contracts with global electronics manufacturers.
