from DSSResources.comRiskWatch rolls out new supply chain security software at NCSC ConferenceANNAPOLIS, Md., June 13, 2004 -- RiskWatch, Inc., providers of the world's leading security risk assessment and compliance software, announces the launch of its newest software -- RiskWatch for Supply Chain Security. The newest member of the RiskWatch software suite will be exhibited at the National Cargo Security Council Conference (NCSC), June 13-15, at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas. Conference attendees who are seeking solutions to current terrorist and security threats to cargo and shipping facilities will have an opportunity to review the software at RiskWatch's booth #510 in the NCSC exhibit hall. RiskWatch for Supply Chain Security includes web-based compliance surveys for C-TPAT, CSI, BASC and TAPA standards. The software automates the site survey process for suppliers, importers, and carriers of all modes of transportation, and creates management reports based on evaluation of vulnerabilities, balanced with return on investment recommendations. RiskWatch for Supply Chain Security identifies security threats and vulnerabilities in air, maritime, rail and trucking facilities. The software addresses all the latest homeland security standards and best practices for physical security. The software generates a complete 100-page security assessment report complete with guidance on controls and procedures to protect all nodes of the supply chain. "RiskWatch listened to our customers who needed a solution to do a risk assessment on an end-to-end supply chain, instead of just a stand alone facility," said RiskWatch president, Caroline Hamilton, an international expert on security risk assessment. "The NCSC conference is a perfect venue to introduce this solution and to discuss best practice risk assessment with the companies who are on the front lines of trying to secure a very complex web of transportation nodes." "The real value of the RiskWatch software is that it allows a carrier or manufacturer to measure security throughout the total supply chain, validate compliance with a standard like BASC, ISPS, or C-TPAT, and at the same time review and evaluate the security controls they have in place, and evaluate how well they are working," said Jason Clawson, president of JBC International, a firm specializing in global trade expertise. NCSC conference attendees interested in learning more about the new software package can visit the RiskWatch booth, #510, to view a RiskWatch for Supply Chain Security product demonstration.
