A security consultant has been retained to assist management at a warehouse with a cargo theft problem they have been experiencing. One of the first areas the consultant should explore is to:
A.
check with the local Police Department to determine if an organized retail crime ring is operating in the area.
B.
determine whether documentation and shipping procedures may pose a security hazard.
C.
ensure container seals in use are replaced with high-security seals.
D.
employ GPS (Global Positioning System) tracking devices to determine the destination of stolen goods.
Cargo theft is often facilitated by vulnerabilities in documentation and shipping processes. Initial areas for review should include:
Documentation processes that could expose shipment details to unauthorized parties.
Lax controls over access to shipping schedules and manifests.
Compliance with secure shipping standards.
While other options like GPS tracking and container seals are valuable, addressing procedural vulnerabilities often reveals systemic issues contributing to theft.
