Safeguard
Solution · Logistics

Logistics. Supply chain security for the supply chain itself.

Third-party logistics operators, warehousing networks, last-mile fleets, freight forwarders, and supply-chain platforms now sit at the intersection of customs compliance, WMS / TMS vendor concentration, IoT-on-pallet security, and continuous regulator reporting. Safeguard turns that pile of spreadsheets into a live, signed evidence store.

Industry pressures

Four forces converging on your logistics stack.

Customs, regulator, customer, and operational pressures are collapsing into one continuous evidence requirement.

Cross-border customs compliance

Every consignment now touches at least three customs interfaces, each with its own data-security expectation. A signed bill of materials for the brokerage software is no longer optional; it is part of the trade trust packet.

WMS / TMS vendor concentration

A handful of warehouse-management and transport-management platforms underpin most 3PLs. One shared transitive dependency, one supplier ransomware event, and dozens of distribution centres stall simultaneously.

IoT-on-pallet device security

Pallet trackers, refrigeration telematics, and yard sensors are now connected components in the supply chain. Each device runs firmware that nobody has SBOM'd, on networks that are usually flat.

Ransomware on warehouse-management

WMS outages do not just stop picking — they stop revenue. The blast radius from one vendor compromise crosses customers, modes, and regions in hours. The clock on customer SLAs is unforgiving.

How Safeguard fits

Capability mapped to customs and customer expectation.

WMS / TMS vendor concentration heatmap

See your single-point-of-failure components across warehouse and transport platforms before procurement signs the next 3PL contract. Concentration risk surfaces at the component level, not the vendor level.

Signed firmware for warehouse IoT

Pallet trackers, telematics, and yard sensors emit signed firmware SBOMs at install. Reachability tells you which devices are actually exposed to a given CVE — not just which versions match.

Customs-interface attestation

Brokerage and customs-interface code is signed and attested per release. The trade trust packet now includes a queryable provenance trail, not just a vendor's marketing pdf.

Multi-region deployment for cross-border ops

Per-region policy and residency controls are built in. EU consignment data stays in the EU; APAC stays in APAC. Cross-border carrier networks get one platform with regional control planes.

Compliance alignment

Frameworks the platform is mapped to.

Pre-mapped control narratives and evidence in the formats your auditor, broker, and regulator already accept.

Per-region control plane, WMS / TMS audit log streamed to the carrier SIEM, a vendor concentration heatmap, and a customs trust packet exported to brokers and regulators on demand.

  1. 01

    Per-region control plane

    Each region runs its own control plane and inference cluster inside the carrier's VPC. No cross-region traffic, no shared key material, no shared customs data.

  2. 02

    WMS / TMS audit log streaming

    Every WMS and TMS action emits a signed event to the carrier's SIEM. Retention, search, and chain-of-custody for customs and ESG audits stay under the carrier's control.

  3. 03

    Vendor concentration heatmap

    Continuous mapping of shared dependencies across WMS, TMS, telematics, and brokerage suppliers. The blast radius of one supplier compromise becomes a chart, not a fire drill.

  4. 04

    Customs trust packet export

    Read-only attestation feed publishes signed SBOMs, VEX statements, and customs-interface provenance to brokers and regulators on demand — no email attachments.

Where the risk lives today

Four risk surfaces your operations team already worries about.

WMS vendor ransomware

Warehouse-management outages do not slow down; they stop revenue. A single shared OSS component across WMS platforms creates a cascading blast radius across distribution centres and customer SLAs.

Customs-interface tampering

Brokerage and customs gateway code increasingly sits in third-party SaaS. A malicious release into that stack manipulates declarations at scale and turns into a customs investigation, not just an outage.

IoT pallet-device compromise

Trackers, refrigeration telematics, and yard sensors run firmware that is rarely SBOM'd. One unpatched KEV on a fleet of devices on a flat network is a textbook lateral-movement opportunity.

Third-party logistics SaaS breach

Visibility platforms, control-tower SaaS, and broker portals concentrate dozens of shippers' data into a single tenant. One supplier breach simultaneously exposes multiple customers' shipment plans.

Current threat landscape

What is actually hitting logistics operators this year.

Warehouse-management ransomware

A single OSS dep shared across WMS platforms cascades across distribution centres and customer SLAs in a matter of hours.

Reachability + KEV prioritisation

Customs-interface compromise

A malicious release into a brokerage or customs-interface SaaS manipulates declarations at scale, with audit consequences far beyond an outage.

Signed SBOM + attestation

IoT pallet-device botnets

Flat networks of trackers, telematics, and yard sensors with unsigned firmware become an ideal staging ground for lateral movement.

Signed firmware SBOM + SCA

KEV CVEs in WMS / TMS libraries

Disclosure-to-exploit cycle frequently under 72 hours; reachability decides which warehouses are actually in the blast radius.

Eagle reachability + KEV prioritisation

Sanctioned-vendor exposure

Across a multi-jurisdiction carrier network, a single sanctioned supplier hidden in the dependency graph can trigger fines in three regulators simultaneously.
