CTPAT Program Audit
Efficiency in Security
Ensuring comprehensive compliance and security
The CTPAT Certification is an excellent way to demonstrate that your company strives to meet the highest levels of supply chain security and efficiency – both to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and clients.
Maintaining compliance is not straightforward – businesses that try to go it alone tend to struggle and spend more time and effort than is necessary to fully understand the program requirements and the Minimum Security Criteria (MSC) that need to be met. Utilizing the services of SCSI to audit your business means that you can rest easy knowing that our team of experts is taking care of everything for you – getting you compliant quickly, efficiently, and with a minimum of hassle and disruption.
What is a CTPAT Program Audit?
The CTPAT program has strict requirements and Minimum Security Criteria (MSC). The experienced and skilled personnel at SCSI will perform a complete audit of your Company’s compliance with the CTPAT program requirements and MSC; identify non-compliance; potential areas of improvement; and best practices.

The CTPAT Audit Process
Our audits are comprehensive and structured around the specific needs of your business. Each audit will include several core steps:
Initial Consult
We start with a detailed discussion of your operations, supply chain structure, and current compliance measures.
CTPAT Compliance Assessment
Next, we will conduct a detailed review of your current company processes, policies, procedures, security systems and measures. This includes reviewing your CTPAT Portal account, including the Trade Account Profile, Company Profile, Security Profile, and any uploaded documents.
Actions Required, Recommendations and Best Practices
We will deliver a detailed report that will include weaknesses discovered; actions required that will need to be implemented to comply with the CTPAT Program requirements and MSC; actionable recommendations to address gaps, and enhance your security measures. Any best practices discovered will be mentioned in the report.
Implementation Guidance
Using the recommendations for improvement, our team will offer guidance and advice on the most effective and efficient methods for implementation.
