Which of the following best describes who should receive ongoing security training under MSCs?

• A. Employees, contractors, and business partners
• B. Only warehouse managers
• C. Only executives
• D. External auditors only

Answer: (A)

Ongoing security training under MSCs is required for all individuals who have access to the supply chain—employees, contractors, and business partners. The idea is to create a consistent security mindset across everyone who touches shipments, facilities, or information, so threats are recognized and handled promptly no matter what their role is.

Training should be ongoing to keep people up to date on recognizing suspicious activity, proper access control, reporting procedures, and security practices relevant to their responsibilities. Limiting training to a single group, like only managers or executives, or to external auditors, leaves gaps where everyday workers, vendor staff, or partner organizations might miss critical procedures or signs of risk. By including employees, contractors, and business partners, the program ensures a unified, security-conscious culture throughout the entire supply chain.
