Food Defense Security Solutions
FSMA is here...is your business prepared?
The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is the most significant expansion of food safety requirements and FDA food safety authority in over 70 years, since the original Food Drug & Cosmetic Act in 1938.
ADT delivers actionable intelligence for the protection of your brand with the Four A’s of a proactive food defense program.
Assess - Security Review
ADT's Food Defense Security Review is based on actual FDA/USDA published guidelines for Food Defense. You’ll gain valuable insight including minimum compliance requirements, specific areas of focus and recommendations to close gaps.
The assessment includes:
- Facility Registration
- Food Defense Management Plan & Policy
- Personnel
- Security of Perimeter, Buildings & Docks
- Receiving/Shipping Areas
- Receipt Inspection
- Production Areas
- Emergency Procedures
- Subcontractors/Suppliers
- Warehousing and Storage
Access – Electronic Access Control
Personnel access and movement through critical control points should be restricted to authorized areas only. This should apply not only to contractors, 3PL and 4PL staff, and visitors, but also to internal employees. ADT can help you:
- Secure physical access points in a facility with access control cards.
- Track the movement of people within a facility with RFID Tags and Readers.
- Monitor the movement of people with integrated video and access control monitoring.
- Manage multiple sites with web-based, multi-site access control solutions.
- Proactively monitor people in real time with intrusion detection monitoring.
Alert – 24 Hour Monitoring
Intentional food adulteration can have a tremendous impact on brand reputation. That’s why a proactive brand protection strategy is essential. This requires the securing and monitoring of food shipments from production and distribution to eventual point of sale. ADT can help you:
- Achieve situational awareness throughout the food supply chain by automatically linking disparate monitoring devices and correlating relevant incidents with a Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) solution.
- Actively monitor goods in transit through advanced location-based tracking solutions.
- Sense temperature and humidity to help ensure the safety of food throughout the cold chain.
- Receive 24/7 intrusion detection and critical condition monitoring by dedicated and trained professionals. ADT has SAFETY Act certification from the Department of Homeland Security.
Audit - Remote Video Auditing
FDA-regulated companies are required to document the monitoring of preventive controls including instances of noncompliance material to food safety, test results and other means of verification, corrective actions, and the efficacy of preventive controls and corrective actions. Remote video auditing is an essential component in a food defense plan that delivers actionable intelligence.
- Remote video auditing services help transform video and related data into tools for security, operational and
marketing improvements. - Analytics and software help improve operational efficiency and employee performance.
- By accessing your existing security video cameras and DVRs through the Internet, and corporate Intranets,
realize a greater return-on-investment, not greater expenditures.
