Maintenance Plan

Maintaining a security program is the key to its success and effectiveness. That is why COVA Consulting offers a maintenance program tailored to each client. Our continuity service covers the following needs:

1. Internal audits of business partners.*
2. Risk assessment updates every 6 months and/or whenever there is a justified cause, based on OEA and CTPAT requirements.**
3. Bimonthly visits to perform effectiveness tests and review CTPAT/OEA processes. These reviews include reports and cover current business partners directly involved in the supply chain (carriers).
4. Training for critical staff every 6 months: security guards, shipping staff and supervisors.
5. Review and update of written CTPAT and OEA procedures.
6. Post-Incident Analysis support, such as analysis drills and evidence gathering in the event of a supply chain contamination and/or breach.
7. Updating your CTPAT profile in the portal and maintaining communication with the specialists.
8. Completion of forms and letters, and submission of annual OEA renewal applications.#
