We have served Australian-based companies and multinationals for over 100 years, offering customised solutions across the supply chain, including freight forwarding, logistics, and customs-related services.
Our expertise is a testament to our enduring commitment to setting the gold standard for data security in freight forwarding.
The following article will take a look at the best practices in guaranteeing security throughout the freight forwarding process.
The freight forwarding industry in Sydney, and indeed globally, is experiencing increasing challenges related to data security. With continuous cyber-attacks, security breaches, and misuse of business information becoming more common, the necessity for robust security measures cannot be overstated.
Recovering from such breaches is costly, both in terms of financial impact and damage to a company’s reputation. This underscores the importance of prevention rather than cure.
For this reason, aviation security is paramount and at BCR Seaway, we’ve taken all measures to ensure that all your goods are kept safe and protected.
