Which item is NOT listed among the areas included in the CTPAT security evaluation?

• A. Human Resources
• B. Receiving
• C. Supply Chain Insurance
• D. Global Sourcing

Answer: (C)

CTPAT security evaluation is about how a company implements concrete security controls to protect the supply chain, focusing on areas like personnel security (vetting and monitoring employees) and secure receiving/shipping procedures at the dock. Letting in personnel through proper background checks and training aligns with the personnel security aspect, while ensuring that goods are securely handled, verified, and protected during receiving fits the receiving/shipping control area. Global Sourcing isn’t one of the formal security evaluation areas; it deals more with where supplies come from and supplier relationships than with the specific security controls the evaluation examines. Supply Chain Insurance, on the other hand, is about risk financing rather than security controls and procedures the program audits. Thus, Supply Chain Insurance is the item not listed among the security evaluation areas.
