What it is
Logistics Cybersecurity, in plain language.
A security programme for logistics businesses: protecting transport and warehouse management systems, customer tracking portals and APIs, fleet and telematics devices, partner and carrier connections, and finance processes vulnerable to payment fraud.
What you run
The risk
How NPLUS secures it
TMS and WMS
The risk: Ransomware on dispatch or warehouse systems stops shipments.
Incident Response Readiness. A recovery plan, offline backups and runbooks so operations restart quickly.
Customer portal and APIs
The risk: Tracking portals and APIs leak shipment and customer data.
Application Security. We test the portal and integration APIs for data exposure and abuse.
Partner and carrier connections
The risk: Third-party access becomes an entry point.
Identity & Access Management. Controlled, logged access for partners, carriers and integrators.
Freight payments
The risk: Fake emails redirect payments to fraudsters.
Security Awareness Training. Staff training and verification steps for bank detail changes.
Fleet and telematics devices
The risk: Connected devices are exposed and rarely updated.
Vulnerability Management. We find exposed devices and plan secure configuration and updates.
Shipper security reviews
The risk: Contracts stall on security questionnaires.
Compliance Readiness. Controls and evidence to answer shipper and ISO 27001 requirements.

Cybersecurity by department
Why it matters
Why this matters for logistics, freight and supply chain companies.
Logistics companies connect to many customers, carriers and systems, which gives attackers many ways in. Ransomware that stops dispatch causes penalties and lost customers quickly. Fake emails redirect freight payments. Large shippers increasingly require security assurance from their logistics partners.
How we work
How we work with logistics, freight and supply chain companies.
The same four steps on every engagement, sized to your team.
- Step 01
Assess
We map your assets, data and vendors, scan for vulnerabilities and review your controls against your target framework.
- Step 02
Prioritize
Every gap is ranked by business impact and likelihood, so effort goes where risk and audit pressure are highest.
- Step 03
Remediate
We work alongside your team to harden configurations, write policies and put controls in place — documented as we go.
- Step 04
Sustain
Recurring scans, access reviews, training and reporting keep your security posture measurable and audit evidence current.
What you get
The results you can expect.
- Secure partner and API access with monitoring
- Strong logins for staff and shared devices
- Payment change fraud stopped with verification steps
- TMS and WMS backed up with a tested recovery plan
- Evidence ready for shipper security reviews
We do not promise fixed numbers before we have seen your systems. In the first call we agree what to measure, and we report against it.
FAQ
Cybersecurity for logistics and supply chain: common questions.
Can you secure systems we do not host ourselves?
Yes. We review how you use SaaS TMS, WMS and carrier platforms, including accounts, integrations and data sharing.
How do we stop payment fraud?
Combine staff training, mandatory call-back verification for bank changes, and email security controls. We set this up with your finance team.
Do you help with customer security questionnaires?
Yes. We prepare a standard answer pack and the evidence behind it.
Where should logistics, freight and supply chain companies start with security?
Start with a short review of the systems shown in the diagram on this page. We list what you have, rank the risks by how likely and how damaging they are, and agree the first fixes. You do not need to do everything at once.
Can you guarantee we will not be breached?
No, and nobody can honestly promise that. Our work reduces the chance of an attack succeeding and limits the damage if one does, and it gives you evidence of the care you have taken.
Do you work with our existing IT team or vendor?
Yes. We work alongside your IT staff or managed service provider, give them specific tasks, and check the results. We serve clients in India and the USA.
