Logistics and supply chain security related crime including various types of theft, smuggling, IPR violations etc. topped by the risk/fear of terrorist attacks/exploitation of logistics systems are a growing concern for European companies, government agencies, politicians and citizens.

The LOGSEC project focused on three main objectives:

1. To deliver a strategic roadmap, this depicts possible security gaps or responsibility backlogs between different operators (both business and governmental);
2. To address relevant political, policy, regulatory, technology and service aspects, together with their combinations and to define the ones most critical in security research;
3. To combine global supply chain management expertise and technological expertise with crime prevention expertise to improve real security in European end-to-end supply chains, in a cost efficient manner into account shifts in public perceptions of threats and related security issues.

The goal of the LOGSEC project was to develop a strategic roadmap for a large scale demonstration project in European logistics and supply chain security, characterised by adequate security for the benefit of business and governments, on low time-delay and other cost implications.

A broad set of security policies, regulations, standards, technologies, procedural aspects, services, IPR-issues and links to other related projects were assessed and evaluated during the project in close collaboration between the beneficiaries and business and governmental security end-users.
