© 2018 Integration Point, Inc. | www.IntegrationPoint.com One Trade Platform Globally CTPAT Assessment Integration Point CTPAT Assessment provides a complete risk management solution, providing companies visibility into their entire supply chain to identify areas of highest risk and subsequently minimize or mitigate risks to the highest degree. The Challenge In an effort to protect the global supply chain while also promoting security in trade across borders, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) offers a voluntary program, known as Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT), to organizations that want to receive the benefits of reduced inspections, increased predictability and transparency, and amplified security throughout their supply chains. Companies who achieve CTPAT certification must have a documented process for determining and alleviating vulnerabilities throughout their international supply chain. This allows companies to be considered low risk, resulting in expedited processing of their cargo and fewer customs examinations. Attaining CTPAT certification, however, can be a complex, time-consuming, and paper-intensive process. The Solution Due to its complexity, the decision whether or not to participate in the CTPAT program is often based on the availability of manpower to manage the program, including soliciting information from internal and external business partners, analyzing the responses, managing corrective actions, and maintaining an audit trail. Integration Point CTPAT Assessment simplifies administration of the entire CTPAT program, allowing companies to proactively prepare for certification, manage the program to maintain CTPAT status, and meet requirements of CBP’s recommended 5-Step Risk Assessment Process. The Benefits Integration Point CTPAT Assessment provides the ability to electronically collect, standardize, and organize all business partner data required to meet program criteria into one centralized data repository. Integration Point CTPAT Assessment simplifies management of the entire CTPAT program.
