Cybersecurity for freight forwarders & customs brokers
For your CTPAT review, a written policy isn't enough anymore. They check if your security actually works.We get you ready to pass.
CBP added cybersecurity to the CTPAT review, and now they look for protection that actually works — not just a policy sitting in a folder. iP Tec Solutions finds the gaps, fixes them, and puts it all in writing, so your next review goes smoothly and you keep the perks that come with CTPAT: faster border crossings and fewer inspections.

They check now
It's not just paperwork anymore. CBP looks at whether your security actually works — a policy you wrote two years ago won't pass on its own.
You're a target
Logistics is in the crosshairs. Attacks on shipping and freight companies doubled in 2025, and cyber-related cargo theft hit about $725 million.
A lot to lose
Your CTPAT perks aren’t free to lose. Failing your review can cost you faster border crossings, fewer inspections, and customers who only work with CTPAT partners.
Sound familiar?
If any of this sounds like you, you're not alone.
Most freight forwarders and customs brokers we talk to are in the same spot — running hard on a few key programs, with security that never quite got finished. That's the part we take off your plate.
Your CTPAT security write-up is something you did once — and you're not sure it'll hold up at your next review.
Your whole business runs on a few key programs, but basic protections like two-step login were never fully turned on.
You've seen the news about ransomware hitting freight companies and wondered what one attack would do to you.
A customer asked how you keep their information safe, and you didn't have a good answer ready.
The honest version
This isn't complicated — it just has to be real.
A proper login with two-step verification, keeping software updated, blocking viruses, a plan for when something goes wrong, and backups that actually work. None of it is fancy. But CBP wants to see it working, not just written down. We set it up, make sure it works, and keep it that way — so your review is something you walk into ready instead of scrambling for. No scare tactics, no inflated findings.
What we do
Three things, handled for you.
Everything you need to walk into your CTPAT review ready — and to keep your business running if something ever goes wrong.
Pass your review
We go through exactly what CBP looks at, fix what’s missing, and put it in writing — so your CTPAT review goes smoothly, with no last-minute scramble.
Protect your business
We lock down the programs you run shipments on and set up backups that actually work — so if you ever get hit, you’re back up fast and shipments keep moving.
Show you’re careful with data
We keep track of who opens your shipment and customer information, so you can show CBP and your customers that it’s handled the right way.
