One of the international supplier base’s most common complaints is the repetition of supply chain security audits. This grievance united multiple industry leaders in 2014 to identify a strategy to reduce costs and the number of such audits conducted on global suppliers and factories annually. This led to the creation of a single security audit and sharing platform for importers to conduct and evaluate shared Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism-compliant (CTPAT) supplier and factory security audits.
SCAN was developed to facilitate this strategy and establish an audit-sharing platform to help:
- Improve audit consistency
- Lower audit costs
- Reduce audit frequency
- Maintain confidentiality
US Customs and the CTPAT organization have been introduced to SCAN and acknowledged its potential benefits.
