Annual Self-Assessment
What is the annual self-assessment?The annual self-assessment is the annual review and update of your company and security profile Number 2 under “Specifically, the Partner agrees to:” in the C-TPAT Partner Agreement states “Using the online application process (the C-TPAT Security Link Portal), complete a supply chain security profile and update information regarding the company on an annual basis.”
Why is it important?Your SCSS refers to your Security Profile in preparation to any validation. If a process changes that needs to be updated and is not, your company could be in violation of the agreement.
