Audits build confidence. Duplication creates burden.
Repeated audits increase administrative work and strain valuable supplier resources.
SCAN is exploring a collaborative approach to reduce duplication and strengthen supply chain performance.

🔐 October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month!
Cyber threats can disrupt interconnected supply chains.
SCAN encourages organizations to stay informed, strengthen security practices, and take steps to reduce risks.
Stronger cybersecurity builds more resilient supply chains.
You can't manage the risks you can't see.
As supply chains grow more complex, limited visibility can make risks harder to identify and address.
SCAN is exploring a collaborative audit model to strengthen oversight and reduce duplication.

Global supply chains, on TRAC(k)
The United States imported $3.4 trillion of goods in 2025. The @SCANAssociation helps secure the supply chains behind around 40% of US imports.
SCAN's members include @Costco, @Walmart, @Target, and @HomeDepot and many of them buy from the same factories. Instead of each importer auditing the same factory against the same US customs security criteria (CTPAT), they share the audit reports.
In 2025 alone, SCAN members avoided 10,159 duplicate factory audits this way, across 93 countries.
The audits are secured on the @origin_trail Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG):
→ Each audit result and factory credential becomes a tamper-evident record that can be checked at the source
→ Members and US Customs and Border Protection can check a factory's audit history without one central database owning it
→ Access stays permissioned, so sensitive audit data reaches only those entitled to see it
One audit, verified once, trusted across the network. The same pattern fits any industry where the same compliance evidence is requested again and again.
Trust the source.
Case study: origintrail.io/solutions/sup…
As expectations increase, suppliers face multiple audits covering similar requirements, creating duplication and audit fatigue.
SCAN is exploring a collaborative model to strengthen oversight while reducing supplier burden.
Less duplication. More confidence.
