Transport and Logistics
How P-Secure supports transportation, logistics, and port background check requirements
Transport, logistics and ports are critical infrastructure under NIS2 Directive — and critical ports are now designated as a strategic sector under CER (Critical Device Resilience Act), with tightened requirements for access management and supply chain security. It places new demands on how companies document and follow up the control of employees and suppliers with access to critical facilities and systems.
Background checks are not just a compliance issue -- they are a necessity to increase the resilience and documentation expected by authorities. For many roles, a thorough background check will suffice in itself. For others -- where access to critical systems and facilities is particularly sensitive -- it is the natural first step in advance of a security clearance.
P-Secure makes it easy to manage the entire background check process digitally — from initial hiring to ongoing rechecking — with full traceability and documentation in accordance with GDPR and applicable data protection regulations.
P-Secure recommends systematic background checks as foundation for access management
As in the energy and telecommunications sectors, P-Secure is working to establish a common standard for screening and background checks that can be applied across transportation, logistics and port companies and their subcontractors.
The platform brings together all the essential elements in one digital flow — adapted to the needs of each function, e.g. ID verification, driver's license and resume validation. This allows companies to document their internal processes to the Swedish Transport Agency and auditors — without increasing the administrative burden.
CER requires critical entities to actively strengthen their resilience—including by knowing and controlling who has access to critical facilities and systems. NIS2 also requires supply chain security, which means that the responsibility does not stop with its own employees, but also applies to suppliers and subcontractors. A systematic background check is the foundation on which effective access management should rest.
How P-Secure contributes in practice
Automation of critical processes
P-Secure automates and aggregates checks of identity, résumé, driver's license, residence permit and criminal record. It ensures accurate and timely checks and reduces the risk of human error — even when many drivers, port operators or subcontractors need to be screened at once.
Streamlining HR processes
P-Secure streamlines time-consuming and cost-intensive HR processes. This saves time and resources so you can focus on your core tasks.
Ready for audit
P-Secure is designed for easy and efficient auditing — both internally and externally. The system keeps track of all necessary documents and processes, so that you can quickly present the required documentation to the Danish Traffic Authority and other authorities.
Compliance
P-Secure supports compliance with NIS2, CER and ISO 27001, as well as the chain liability and subcontractor management requirements imposed in critical infrastructure contracts. The solution is continuously adapted to country-specific legislation and at the same time ensures compliance with GDPR when processing personal data.
Effectiveness
P-Secure offers an easy-to-use case management system that can efficiently handle a large number of simultaneous background checks. This gives your organization a flexible and scalable solution that adapts to screening needs — whether you are 50 or 5,000 employees.
Consent
All background checks are conducted in strict accordance with applicable law, with full transparency in the process and upon obtaining explicit consent.
Objectivity
All background checks are carried out according to pre-defined screening criteria and are based, inter alia, on public and verified data sources. This ensures an objective, reliable and accurate evaluation.
About P-Secure
P-Secure is a Danish-developed SaaS platform for compliance, screening and supplier management — founded by former employees from PET and the Armed Forces Intelligence Service. The solution is currently used by more than 100 critical infrastructure companies in Denmark and the Nordic region, including DSV Transport, PostNord and Nokas. The platform brings together all elements of background checks and documentation into one system — helping organizations strengthen security and entrench accountability throughout the supply chain.
Due to stricter requirements under NIS2 and CER, P-Secure recommends that transport, logistics and port companies already identify which employees and suppliers should be screened — and ensure that the process is in place before regulatory oversight kicks in.
