TRANSPORTED ASSET PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (TAPA), an association of security professionals and related business partners from high technology and high value companies who have organized for the purpose of addressing the emerging security threats that are common to the high value industry supply chain. A fundamental TAPA objective is to affect positive change in the security practices of the freight transportation and insurance communities as a whole. Major freight service providers are moving toward TAPA-recognized security standards for the care and handling of freight and are recognizing the inherent value of doing so.

FREIGHT SECURITY REQUIREMENTS (FSR) has been established to ensure the safe and secure in-transit storage and warehousing of any TAPA member’s (Buyer’s) assets throughout the world. The FSR specifies the minimum acceptable standards for security throughout the supply chain and the methods to be used in maintaining those standards. It is the intention of TAPA members to select Suppliers that meet or exceed TAPA certification requirements. The FSR Auditor Training outlines the process and specification for Suppliers to attain TAPA certification for their facilities and transit operations. It will be a two full days training and following are the training modules.
