TAPA TSR-1 Transport
Secured transport for retired IT hardware
With IT phase-out, the biggest risk often arises during transport. As soon as equipment leaves a location, it must remain clear where it is, who is responsible for the handover and which security measures have been applied.

XITAD supports transport via processes set up according to TAPA TSR-1, the highest classification within the Trucking Security Requirements for valuable and sensitive goods.
Every handover is recorded as part of a verifiable chain of custody, supported by transport records, status updates and project documentation.
Control during transport
Processing and data destruction take place within controlled processes, but the physical movement of equipment also requires demonstrable control.
That is why transport is not treated as a separate logistics step, but as part of a broader secured chain. From the moment of collection, it remains visible where equipment is and which party is responsible for the next handover.
What is TAPA TSR-1?
TAPA TSR-1 is the highest security classification within the Trucking Security Requirements.
The standard sets requirements for transport processes, security procedures, vehicles and operational controls applied during the carriage of valuable or sensitive goods.
By carrying out transport within a TSR-1 process, the risk of loss, theft and unauthorized access is reduced.

Sealed handovers
Equipment can be transported in sealed packaging and secured transport.
At every handover, it is checked whether the seal has remained intact and the status is recorded within the project file. This keeps it demonstrable when equipment was handed over, received and processed.
Tracking and status logging
Transport activities can be supported with GPS tracking and additional monitoring.
Status changes such as collection, transport, arrival and processing are recorded within the platform. This creates a verifiable overview of every step in the journey.
Part of a chain of custody
Transport is one link within the overall chain of custody.
Every handover is recorded as part of a continuous documentation chain, so it remains demonstrable afterwards who was responsible for the equipment and when a handover took place.
This information remains available for audits, compliance checks and internal accountability.
Tailored to the risk profile
Not every shipment calls for the same approach.
The size of the project, the nature of the equipment and the sensitivity of the data determine which security measures are applied. This allows the transport process to be tailored to the actual risks of the project.
Complete documentation
After completion, the relevant transport documentation remains available within the project file.
Depending on the project, this can consist of:
Transport records
Handover documentation
Chain of custody reports
Status records
Audit documentation
This keeps it demonstrable how equipment was transported and which security measures were applied.

Frequently asked questions about TAPA TSR-1 transport
What exactly is TAPA TSR-1?
TAPA TSR-1 is the highest security classification within the Trucking Security Requirements. The standard sets requirements for transport processes, security procedures, vehicles and operational controls for the carriage of valuable or sensitive goods.
Which security measures are applied during transport?
Depending on the project, sealed packaging, secured transport, controlled handover procedures and additional monitoring can be applied. Every handover is recorded as part of the chain of custody.
Can transport be tracked via GPS?
Yes, depending on the project requirements. Transport activities can be supported with GPS tracking and additional monitoring, so status changes such as collection, transport, arrival and processing remain visible.
What documentation do I receive?
After completion, the transport documentation remains available within the project file, including transport records, handover documentation, chain of custody reports, status records and audit documentation.
How does TAPA transport support the chain of custody?
Transport is one link within the overall chain of custody. Every handover is recorded as part of a continuous documentation chain, so it remains demonstrable afterwards who was responsible and when a handover took place.
When are additional security measures needed?
The size of the project, the nature of the equipment and the sensitivity of the data determine which security measures are applied. The transport process is tailored to the actual risks of the project.
Keep control during every handover
Combine secured transport, documentation and chain of custody within one verifiable process.
