2025 Freight Broker Security Requirements

The Transported Asset Protection Association (TAPA AMERICAS) is excited to announce the official rollout of its new Freight Broker Security Requirements (FBSR) Standard. First of its kind, this standard serves to minimize potential risks of cargo theft among freight brokers and fill the gaps in the security of our supply chains.

As supply chains grow more complex and interconnected, standards are essential. Criminals are using advanced tactics to exploit vulnerabilities. They are engaging in tactics to trick shippers, brokers, and carriers into handing over cargo or soliciting fraudulent payments. Incidents include identity theft, load interception, fraudulent bills of lading, and stolen shipping information from load boards.
