Cybersecurity for Logistics & Supply Chain

When your TMS goes down, freight stops moving. When a customer's shipment data leaks, your carrier contract is at risk. We keep your operations running, your cargo data secure, and your RFPs competitive — so you move freight, not respond to breaches.

Why Logistics Is Under Cyber Siege

Logistics companies sit at the intersection of dozens of external systems: customer TMS/ERP integrations, carrier APIs, port authority EDI feeds, 3PL warehouse WMS, customs brokers, and last-mile delivery tracking. Every one of those connections is a potential entry point for attackers — and your customers' SOC 2 and ISO 27001 requirements are increasingly becoming your requirements.

Attackers target logistics because the pressure to maintain 99.9% uptime makes you more likely to pay ransoms. A manufacturer can pause production for a day. A logistics provider can't pause the supply chain without triggering penalties, missed SLAs, and lost contracts. Threat actors know this — and they price their ransom demands accordingly.

The Unique Risks Logistics Companies Face

🔗

Third-Party Integration Exposure

Every customer TMS integration, carrier API connection, and EDI feed is an attack surface. A breach at your smallest customer can become a breach of your entire network if integrations aren't properly segmented.

🚛

Operational Technology (OT) Risk

Fleet telematics, GPS tracking, warehouse automation, RFID systems, and yard management software run on networks that rarely get security patches. A compromised telematics server can expose every shipment in transit.

📦

Cargo Theft & Fraud

Cyber-enabled cargo theft — fraudulent pickup requests, spoofed carrier credentials, hacked load boards — has exploded. When attackers access your TMS, they don't just steal data. They redirect freight to fake warehouses.

📜

Contract Compliance at Scale

Every enterprise customer now includes cybersecurity requirements in their carrier contracts: SOC 2, ISO 27001, CTPAT, CMMC for defense logistics. Managing compliance across 50+ customer relationships manually is unsustainable.

Typical Logistics IT Setup

  • TMS runs on a single server in the office — one hardware failure and dispatch is blind
  • No network segmentation between customer-facing integrations and internal operations
  • "Compliance" means filling out customer security questionnaires from memory
  • Fleet telematics and GPS platforms share credentials across dispatch, safety, and maintenance
  • Backups untested — "I'm pretty sure the backup runs every night"
  • No incident response plan — when something breaks, everyone calls the IT guy's cell phone

With FCT MSP Logistics Security

  • TMS, WMS, and customer integrations each run in isolated network zones — a breach in one doesn't spread
  • 24/7 AI threat detection monitors your entire environment — IT, OT, and cloud
  • Standardized security posture that passes SOC 2, ISO 27001, and CTPAT assessments
  • Fleet telematics segmented from corporate network, with unique credentials and audit logging
  • Daily verified backups with restore testing — TMS recoverable before your SLA timer triggers penalties
  • Documented incident response plan with automated notification to affected customers

What You Get

Supply Chain Cyber Resilience

We map every integration point in your ecosystem — customer TMS/ERP APIs, carrier connections, EDI feeds, port authority data exchanges — and implement security controls at each junction. Network segmentation, API gateway monitoring, and zero-trust access mean that even if one customer's system gets breached, your entire operation doesn't go down with them.

Operational Uptime Guarantee

Logistics runs on uptime. Our AI monitoring watches your TMS, WMS, telematics platforms, and communication systems 24/7. When performance degrades — or an attacker probes your network — we know before it impacts dispatch. Ransomware gets blocked before it encrypts. Server failures trigger automated failover. Your dispatchers never see a blank screen.

Customer Security Compliance — Automated

Stop filling out security questionnaires manually. We maintain a standardized security posture aligned with SOC 2, ISO 27001, CTPAT, and CMMC frameworks. When a customer sends a 200-question security assessment, you respond in hours — not weeks — with documented evidence. This alone wins RFPs against less-prepared competitors.

Cargo Security & Fraud Prevention

We monitor your TMS and load board access for suspicious activity: unauthorized pickup scheduling, carrier credential anomalies, unusual shipment reroutes. Integrated with your existing telematics and GPS platforms, we create a security layer that catches freight fraud before the truck leaves the yard. Cargo theft insurance premiums respond to documented security programs.

💡 Competitive Advantage: Enterprise shippers increasingly require SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification from their logistics providers. Being able to demonstrate a formal security program — not just answer a questionnaire — is becoming a deal-maker in logistics RFPs. FCT MSP gives you that capability at a fraction of the cost of an internal security team.

Keep Your Freight Moving. Keep Your Data Safe.

We understand logistics — TMS integrations, fleet telematics, SLA pressures, carrier contracts. AI-powered security built for 3PLs, freight forwarders, and supply chain operators. Priced for mid-market providers competing against enterprise RFP requirements.
