RiskWatch
RiskWatch International · Founded 1993 · Annapolis, MD, USA
Mid-market logistics risk and compliance platform with C-TPAT, TAPA, AEO, and ISO 28000 pre-mapped.
Summary
RiskWatch ships a risk and compliance assessment platform built around pre-mapped control libraries for 40+ regulatory frameworks including C-TPAT (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism), TAPA FSR and TSR (Transported Asset Protection Association Facility and Trucking Security Requirements), AEO (EU Authorised Economic Operator), ISO 28000 / 28001 supply-chain security, ISO 27001:2022, NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, CMMC 2.0, PCI DSS, GDPR, OSHA (powered-industrial-truck + LOTO + dock safety), and Joint Commission-style audit workflows. The platform runs on a survey-based assessment engine plus an evidence vault and a cross-mapped control library, with first-party physical-security assessment for warehouses, distribution centres, marine terminals, and cross-docks. Logistics customers include 3PLs, freight forwarders, contract carriers, and large shippers. The product has been in the field since 1993, single-tenant deployment is available for customs-broker data residency, and customer-audit response packs are first-class output rather than a custom report build.
Strengths
- Pre-built control libraries for C-TPAT, TAPA FSR / TSR, AEO, ISO 28000 / 28001, ISO 27001:2022, NIST 800-171 / CMMC 2.0 (for defence-logistics primes), PCI DSS, and OSHA (powered-industrial-truck + LOTO + dock safety) in one tenant
- First-party physical-security assessment module (ASIS-aligned) for warehouses, distribution centres, cross-docks, marine terminals, and yard perimeters with crime-data overlay
- Cross-mapping engine auto-detects shared controls across C-TPAT, TAPA, AEO, and ISO 28000 so customs-broker, security, and operations all draw from the same evidence vault
- 33-year operating history; customer-audit export packs are first-class output, useful when a Tier-1 retailer or DoD prime requests a TAPA or C-TPAT evidence pack
- Vendor / supplier risk management with BAA + SOC 2 tracking for tier-1 supplier audits across a multi-3PL network
- Single-tenant deployment with customer-owned data residency, an advantage for ITAR / EAR controlled defence logistics and EU customs-broker data-locality customers
- Survey-based assessment engine works for non-technical control owners (warehouse managers, terminal supervisors, customs clerks) without a workflow-builder learning curve
- Published support tier ladder, not gated demos before you see what comes with each tier
Weaknesses
- No native motor-truck-cargo claims management at Riskonnect or Origami Risk depth; pair RiskWatch with a dedicated RMIS if MTC, auto-liability, and workers-comp claims volume is the load-bearing brief
- No native FMCSA CSA scoring or DOT driver-qualification-file engine; fleet-safety directors should pair with Samsara, Lytx, or a DQ-file system if CSA is the dominant requirement
- No native multi-tier supplier-mapping graph at the Everstream Analytics or Resilinc depth; manual supplier-audit workflow rather than a 450,000-supplier network
- No native critical-event-management mass notification at the OnSolve / Crisis24 depth; pair if duty-of-care and traveler tracking are the brief
- Public pricing is partial; we publish typical contract bands but enterprise is quote-only because deployment topology varies materially across multi-yard logistics networks
- Brand awareness on G2 and Capterra is lower than Riskonnect, Resolver, or MetricStream for the enterprise-logistics buyer cohort; total third-party review volume sits below 100
Mid-market 3PLs, freight forwarders, contract motor carriers, and large shippers (200-5,000 employees) running C-TPAT + TAPA + AEO + ISO 28000 + OSHA + PCI in one tenant who also want warehouse and terminal physical-security assessment plus customer-audit response packs.
Large motor carriers whose load-bearing requirement is high-volume motor-truck-cargo and auto-liability claims management at $50M+ annual reserves; Riskonnect or Origami Risk fit that brief better. Also wrong for Tier-1 OEMs whose dominant need is sub-tier-N supplier-graph visibility; Everstream Analytics or Resilinc fit that brief better.
