Supporting Your AEO Journey
Achieving and maintaining Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) status requires businesses to demonstrate that appropriate controls, security measures and procedures are in place across their organisation. For many businesses, this includes a number of IT-related requirements covering system security, data protection, backups and vulnerability management.
Albacore provides specialist support to help businesses meet these requirements, offering practical guidance throughout both the initial application process and ongoing compliance activities.
IT Support for AEO Compliance
Our team can assist with the technology-related aspects of AEO accreditation, helping you understand the requirements and ensuring appropriate measures are in place. We work alongside your business to provide advice, documentation and supporting evidence where required throughout the application and audit process.
With extensive experience supporting freight forwarding, logistics and customs organisations, we understand the systems and operational processes that are often reviewed as part of AEO assessments.
Vulnerability Scanning and Reporting
As part of our AEO service, we conduct vulnerability scans every six months. These assessments help identify potential security weaknesses that could affect your external-facing systems.
Following each assessment, you’ll receive a detailed report outlining any vulnerabilities identified, their potential impact and recommended remediation actions. Where issues fall within our remit, we can assist with implementing the necessary corrective measures.
Ongoing Compliance Support
AEO is not a one-time certification. Organisations are expected to maintain appropriate controls and demonstrate ongoing compliance.
Albacore can provide continued support throughout the lifetime of your accreditation, helping you prepare for audits, respond to IT-related queries and provide the documentation required to demonstrate compliance. Our aim is to make the process as straightforward as possible, allowing you to focus on running your business while maintaining confidence in your IT security controls.
