For Importers + Brand Owners + Manufacturers
One CBP detention over a forced-labor flag can strand a container, blow a delivery date, and cost you the contract behind it, and you have days to produce traceability evidence you may not have collected. Meanwhile a customer audit, a C-TPAT validation, and EU due-diligence rules all demand their own proof from the same suppliers. RiskWatch maps your tier-1, tier-2, and deeper suppliers once, then answers forced-labor, customs, and sustainability questions from one evidence vault, so when CBP, a regulator, or a buyer asks, the response pack is already built. (Covers UFLPA, CBP C-TPAT MSC, Section 307, EU CSDDD, German LkSG, the Conflict Minerals Rule, TAPA FSR, and AEO MRA.)
Trusted by importers, brand owners, and multi-tier manufacturers managing CBP C-TPAT, UFLPA Region of Concern flagging, Section 307 enforcement, EU CSDDD prep, AEO MRA recognition, TAPA FSR, and supplier ESG due diligence across thousands of tier-1 + tier-2 suppliers.
Why Trade + Supplier Compliance Teams Pick RiskWatch
RiskWatch surveys each supplier once, then uses that one answer to satisfy your forced-labor due diligence, your customs partnership program, and your sustainability reporting at the same time. So when a container is detained, a buyer sends an audit, or EU rules ask who is in your chain, you respond from evidence already on file instead of starting a scramble. One trade-compliance and supplier-quality team covers every regulator, every supplier tier, and every customer-imposed audit, without enterprise-bank GRC overhead. (Covers CBP C-TPAT MSC, UFLPA, Section 307, EU CSDDD, German LkSG, the Conflict Minerals Rule, TAPA FSR, AEO MRA, ISO 28000:2022, and SBTi Scope 3.)
Supplier surveys, country-of-origin documents, and chain-of-custody evidence are captured continuously, so a Withhold Release Order or detention notice gets a rebuttable-presumption response pack that is already assembled. (UFLPA Region of Concern flagging, Section 307, and Dodd-Frank §1502 3TG tracking, cross-mapped.)
One supplier or facility survey scores your CBP C-TPAT case and your EU AEO recognition at the same time, because physical security, IT, partner-vetting, and trade-data evidence map to both, so a validation visit is prep in days. (C-TPAT Minimum Security Criteria, Trade Compliance Pillar, and AEO Mutual Recognition Arrangement.)
VP of global trade, supplier-quality director, UFLPA lead, and C-TPAT coordinator work from the same vault. Pre-built libraries cut prep time. White-glove implementation in 30 days, not 6 months.
The Supply Chain Regulatory Landscape
UFLPA (Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act) entered into force June 21, 2022, a rebuttable presumption that any goods made in whole or in part in Xinjiang (or by listed entities) are produced with forced labor and barred from US import. Section 307 of the Tariff Act of 1930 has long blocked forced-labor goods, and CBP detention orders are accelerating. The EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) was adopted in 2024, with the first wave of compliance for the largest companies starting July 26, 2027. C-TPAT MSC was modernized in 2020. Each regulator wants its own evidence package.
Three Domains, One Platform
RiskWatch covers all three. Each domain has a dedicated workflow, scoring model, and remediation queue. They share data so a single supplier survey satisfies UFLPA Region of Concern flagging, CBP C-TPAT partner-vetting, EU CSDDD due diligence, German LkSG risk analysis, and Conflict Minerals Rule §1502 reporting simultaneously.
Survey-based supplier risk assessment across forced-labor, sanctions, country-of-origin, and ESG scoring, aligned to UFLPA + Section 307 + OFAC + CSDDD.
CBP C-TPAT MSC, UFLPA enforcement, Section 307, EU CSDDD, German LkSG, Conflict Minerals Rule, and AEO MRA in one cross-mapped library.
C-TPAT physical + cyber + partner-vetting, TAPA FSR for high-value cargo, AEO MRA, and ISO 28000:2022 across every facility, lane, and supplier.
The Coverage Gap
SCM platforms cover P2P + spend + supplier master. Forced-labor specialty vendors cover UFLPA + sanctions screening. C-TPAT/AEO consultants run audits, not continuous programs. ESG and Scope 3 tools cover emissions. Each does one job. Trade + supplier-compliance teams still operate four parallel programs.

RiskWatch is the only platform covering all six supply chain compliance domains: CBP C-TPAT MSC, UFLPA forced-labor due diligence, TAPA FSR, EU CSDDD, Conflict Minerals Rule §1502, and multi-region coordination. SCM platforms cover P2P + spend. Forced-labor specialty cover UFLPA. C-TPAT/AEO consultants run audits, not continuous programs. Each does one job. RiskWatch unifies all six in one survey-based assessment workflow.
How It Works
RiskWatch is a survey-based assessment platform. The work is structured around questionnaires that capture supplier posture, country-of-origin evidence, partner-vetting controls, ESG performance, and security controls in a consistent format, then scored against every framework you align to.
For supply chain, that workflow runs continuously across CBP C-TPAT MSC, UFLPA Region of Concern flagging, Section 307 forced-labor exposure, EU CSDDD due-diligence stages, German LkSG risk analysis, Conflict Minerals Rule §1502, TAPA FSR for high-value lanes, AEO MRA recognition, ISO 28000:2022, and SBTi Scope 3 reporting. A single supplier survey scores against C-TPAT partner-vetting, UFLPA Tier-N mapping, CSDDD adverse-impact identification, LkSG risk analysis, and the importer's own onboarding SOP simultaneously.
The same platform runs all of it, surfaces gaps before CBP, regulator, or customer arrival, assigns remediation owners, and tracks completion. Replace the four parallel tools and the spreadsheet bridge between them.

Frameworks We Cover
RiskWatch ships with pre-built libraries for every major US and EU supply chain regulation + recommended practice + industry standard. Map controls once. Score against the framework that matters this audit cycle.
Trusted by 500+ risk and compliance teams
We had four programs running in parallel, UFLPA flagging on a spreadsheet, C-TPAT on a separate tool, EU CSDDD prep on a consultancy deck, and AEO MRA evidence in customs binders. Now it's one platform. UFLPA Region of Concern flagging at tier-2, C-TPAT MSC + AEO recognition, EU CSDDD Phase 1 (Jul 2027) gap analysis, and Section 307 country-of-origin evidence all run from the same vault. Our last CBP C-TPAT validation visit produced two minor findings instead of fourteen.
