November 2019
Note: Criteria ID numbers may not be sequential. ID numbers not listed are not applicable to 3PLs.
First Focus Area: Corporate Security
1. Security Vision & Responsibility – For a CTPAT Member’s supply chain security program to become and remain
effective, it must have the support of a company’s upper management. Instilling security as an integral part of a
company’s culture and ensuring that it is a companywide priority is in large part the responsibility of the company’s leadership.

1.1
In promoting a culture of security, CTPAT Members should
demonstrate their commitment to supply chain security and
the CTPAT Program through a statement of support. The
statement should be signed by a senior company official and
displayed in appropriate company locations.
Statement of support should highlight the importance of protecting the
supply chain from criminal activities such as drug trafficking, terrorism,
human smuggling, and illegal contraband. Senior company officials who
should support and sign the statement may include the president, CEO,
general manager, or security director. Areas to display the statement of
support include the company's website, on posters in key areas of the
company (reception; packaging; warehouse; etc.), and/or be part of
company security seminars, etc.

should incorporate representatives from all of the relevant
departments into a cross-functional team.
These new security measures should be included in existing
company procedures, which creates a more sustainable
structure and emphasizes that supply chain security is
everyone's responsibility.
Supply Chain Security has a much broader scope than traditional security
programs. It is intertwined with Security, in many departments such as
Human Resources, Information Technology, and Import/Export offices.
Supply Chain Security programs built on a more traditional, security

the responsibility to carry out the security measures are concentrated
among fewer employees, and, as a result, may be susceptible to the loss
of key personnel.
