Security for Transport & Logistics

We support logistics and transport companies in securing their networks and operations reliably and in full compliance – across warehouses, transport fleets, and digital supply chains.

Modern logistics is highly automated, interconnected, and global. But with this efficiency also comes vulnerability: physical attacks, cyber incidents, industrial sabotage, or targeted disruptions can threaten supply chains – with serious consequences for entire industries. From a regulatory perspective, logistics centers, hubs, and major service providers are increasingly under scrutiny: NIS2, the KRITIS umbrella law, and international security standards are reshaping expectations. We help operators and service providers in the logistics sector secure their sites, processes, and infrastructures holistically – vendor-neutral, compliant, and practical.

Challenges in the Logistics Sector

Vulnerable hubs and high-pressure processes

Warehouses, ramps, handover points, and distribution centers operate under intense time pressure – and simultaneously present attack surfaces.

Rising threat from cyber and hybrid risks

Ransomware, GPS spoofing, physical intrusions, sabotage, or extortion via supply chains – these scenarios are real.

Increasing regulatory requirements

Large logistics companies will soon be classified as “essential entities” under NIS2 – with comprehensive obligations.

Lack of systematic security

Many companies have security measures in place – but no structured security concept or auditable risk management.

Dependence on third parties and subcontractors

Security gaps often emerge at interfaces – such as uncontrolled site access, external contractors, or delivery services.

Regulatorische Anforderungen

Stand 2025

Logistics and transport service providers increasingly fall under regulatory obligations with the entry into force of NIS2 – especially in digitally networked supply chains.

From 2025, many logistics companies with supraregional significance or critical market coverage will be classified as “essential entities.” They are required to:
- Operate a documented risk management system (including physical security)
- Report cybersecurity incidents within 24 hours
- Establish measures for business continuity
- Involve executive management with clear accountability
- Submit to inspections by authorities (BSI, supervisory bodies)
- TAPA FSR/TSR – Security standards for warehouse and transport logistics
- ISO 28000 – Security management systems for the supply chain
- ISO 27001 / ISO 22301 – Information security and business continuity
