Supply Chain Security Services
Overview
At Lares Risk Management (LRM), we provide comprehensive supply chain security services to help organizations protect cargo, facilities, transportation operations, and critical supply chain assets. Our approach identifies security vulnerabilities, strengthens operational controls, and helps organizations manage risks across warehouses, distribution centers, transportation networks, and logistics operations.
We assess your supply chain security risks and develop practical measures aligned with your operational requirements, industry standards, and customer expectations. Our services support businesses in reducing cargo theft, improving security controls, strengthening compliance, and maintaining resilient supply chain operations.
Effective supply chain security starts with identifying vulnerabilities across logistics operations. LRM conducts supply chain security risk assessments to evaluate potential threats affecting facilities, cargo, transportation, personnel, vendors, and operational processes.
Our assessments help organizations identify security gaps, prioritize risks, and develop appropriate mitigation measures to improve overall supply chain resilience.
Our supply chain security solutions address key areas of security and risk management across the movement and storage of goods. Depending on your requirements, our services can support:
- Cargo and freight security
- Warehouse and facility security
- Transportation security
- Access control and security procedures
- Security risk and vulnerability assessments
- Incident response and investigations
- Vendor and customer compliance
- TAPA readiness and certification support
These services help organizations establish stronger security controls while maintaining operational efficiency and compliance requirements.
LRM helps organizations prepare for TAPA certification and strengthen supply chain security controls in line with applicable TAPA requirements. Our support covers security gap assessments, procedures, facility and transportation improvements, staff training, and audit preparation.
We support organizations working toward TAPA FSR, TSR, and PSR requirements, helping them identify gaps and prepare their operations for certification and audits.
When theft, cargo loss, security breaches, or other incidents occur, LRM provides supply chain security investigations to identify what happened, determine root causes, and support corrective action.
Our investigations can examine warehouse losses, cargo theft, transportation incidents, inventory discrepancies, and potential insider threats. Findings are used to identify security weaknesses and strengthen future loss prevention measures.
Supply chain security often depends on meeting the security, compliance, and contractual requirements of customers and business partners. LRM provides vendor and customer compliance services to help organizations assess requirements, identify compliance gaps, and implement corrective actions.
Our services include compliance audits, gap assessments, corrective action planning, compliance documentation, and ongoing monitoring to support stronger and more secure supply chain relationships.
