The risks that actually stop a logistics operation
Dispatch and TMS
Order entry, load tendering and dispatch systems that stop the business when they stop working.
Warehouse systems
WMS, scanners and label printing that hold up receiving, picking and outbound shipments.
Telematics and ELD
Fleet tracking, ELD and maintenance platforms with vendor accounts and remote access.
Microsoft 365
Email, files and identity, where weak multi-factor coverage and forwarding rules cause most incidents.
Customer information
Rate confirmations, bills of lading, driver records and shipper data held across email and shared drives.
Shared accounts
Dispatch, warehouse floor and after-hours logins used by several people with no clear ownership.
Backups
Backups that exist on paper but have never been restored under time pressure.
Supplier and broker access
Third parties, integrators and EDI partners connected to systems you depend on daily.

Example of what a finding looks like
| Function | Example finding | Example first action |
|---|---|---|
| Govern | No named owner for cybersecurity decisions | Assign an accountable owner and a quarterly review point |
| Identify | No current list of systems the operation depends on | Build a dependency list covering dispatch, WMS, telematics and email |
| Protect | Multi-factor authentication not enforced for all mailboxes | Enforce MFA for every account and remove shared logins |
| Detect | Mailbox forwarding rules not monitored | Enable alerting for new forwarding rules and unusual sign-ins |
| Respond | No written escalation path outside office hours | Document who is called, in what order, and what is decided first |
| Recover | Backups in place but never test restored | Run a timed restoration test for one critical system |
Example only. Findings in a real report depend entirely on what the review observes in your own environment.
How the review uses NIST CSF 2.0
We use its six functions, Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover, as a consistent structure for the review, so findings are organized in a way your customers and insurers recognize. Read the plain-language guide for logistics operators.
