Case Study: a Tier 1 global supply-chain operator cuts TAPA audit prep by 78% with RiskWatch

a major global supply-chain operator cuts TAPA audit prep 78% with RiskWatch

The customer, a tier 1 global supply-chain operator, faced a significant challenge managing TAPA FSR certification audits across its 40+ sites. Evidence was scattered across multiple SharePoint folders in 12 different languages, making audit preparation a lengthy and inefficient process that treated each site as a separate project. The company turned to RiskWatch for a solution.

RiskWatch implemented its TAPA FSR 2024 library across all sites in a single tenant, providing a unified, real-time view of compliance. This solution standardized evidence collection across languages and cross-mapped it to satisfy other frameworks like ISO 28000 and C-TPAT. As a result, RiskWatch helped cut audit preparation by 78%, reduced per-site surveillance audit time from 12 weeks to 4, achieved a 100% pass rate, and saved $1.2M in annual labor costs.
