Unfortunately, What you don’t see, is what you get.
Your cargo is vulnerable at many points throughout its transit and today’s criminals are professionals.
Using a high security seal is simply not enough.
Introducing The Red Flag Cargo Security Program.
The Red Flag Cargo Security Program is a comprehensive collection of tools for security professionals to secure
your supply chain and to improve your credibility with border security programs. Red Flag provides the support
for these security tools and training on how to use them to move your company from protection to prevention
for an ever-increasing level of security.

Fact: The earliest citation for “red flag” in the Oxford English Dictionary is from 1602 and shows that at that
time the flag was used by military forces to indicate that they were preparing for battle.
“Be prepared. This is war.”

4. Security 1
Change the Frame of Reference from
“Seal Strength” to “Defeat Resistance.”
Defeat Resistant Cargo Seal™
Red Flag seals cannot be compromised without showing evidence of
tampering because the design makes it impossible to open them by using
techniques used to compromise other seals, such as ratcheting, picking,
freezing, or changing the cable.
Barcoding
Each seal is engraved with a unique serial number and all user-ordered seals
are engraved with the customer ID.
Inventory Control Protocols
Red Flag seals are designed to be user friendly by shipping and receiving
personnel with the packaging designed to help them keep accurate records.
The Red Flag software tracks the location of inventory.
Special Labeling & Packaging
The serial number of each seal is pre-printed and bar-coded on bag and on
the reference sheet in each box. In addition, Red Flag seals can be packaged
in a group bag to provide another level of security for the inspection and
security process. This allows quick visual identification of a seal which may
have been cut off and replaced with a stolen seal with an out-of-sequence
serial number.
Criminals steer away from Red Flag seals because they are much more
likely to be caught if they tamper with a Red Flag seal. They know that
they cannot tamper with the seal without evidence.
How do we do this?
As we said, “using a high-security seal is not enough.” The Red Flag Cargo
Security Program gives you the data to turn passive information into knowledge.
The “knowledge” to actively change the system from protection to prevention.
Raise the red flag.
Security + Knowledge + Prevention
5. Knowledge 2
Building a system of transparency:
Red Flag Cargo Security System creates a
system of transparency, identifying where and when
your chronic security breaches are occurring.
Manage seal inventory and usage
The pinpointing method, using Red Flag labeling, gives you information to
manage seal inventory and usage by location.
Assemble knowledge of tamper points
With the use of Red Flag’s handheld computers*
in the hands of shipping and security personnel,
our system assembles points of knowledge in your
cargo system that display good and potentially bad
behavior. We show you where your green flags
are so that your can recognize and reward that
behavior, and will raise the red flags to pinpoint in on your chronic security
problems, enabling you to identify who is breaching your security, and when
and where they are doing it. This data is then automatically uploaded to our
exclusive knowledge tracking software.
* We also accept data from mobile phones, faxes or computers
Actively filter & inspect
Red Flag’s online knowledge tracking and pinpointing method gives you an
online map to follow and understand where and when a breach occurs.
This special knowledge provides an ever-increasing level of cargo security.
How do we do this?
We don’t do it alone. This program is a team commitment with all parties that
have a stake in the supply chain cycle. The Red Flag Cargo Security Program
ensures that all the members are on the same page and focused on the
collective bottom line.
Close the Gaps.
