Key findings

What this report establishes

  • Single-point fixes fail when access and reconciliation remain informal.
  • Control-point visibility outperforms wide-area surveillance for investigations.
  • Short-cycle reconciliation reduces discovery lag and improves reporting quality.
Risk factors

Where loss concentrates

  • Multiple uncontrolled access paths (gates, breaks, shared roads)
  • Staging zones with unclear ownership and overnight exposure
  • Transport handoffs without driver verification and seal discipline
Recommendations

Controls that reduce ambiguity

  • Define control zones (perimeter, staging, loading) with ownership and rules.
  • Standardize pickup verification: ID, plate capture, seal application, signoff.
  • Set retention targets (30–90 days) aligned to reconciliation cadence.
  • Adopt a consistent incident packet format for reporting and investigators.
