# CTPAT Members Strengthen Visitor Controls

Envoy’s October 28, 2026 guide describes how businesses participating in U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) program can prepare for validation by documenting visitor identity, access, escort, driver, delivery, screening, and sign-out workflows. For contractors and suppliers serving CTPAT members, the guide highlights facility access controls as an area to assess and evidence. It promotes Envoy’s visitor-management software but does not announce a government solicitation, contract award, funding, or procurement deadline.

- Contractors and suppliers can review whether their visitor-management procedures document the access and screening workflows identified in the guide.
- Procurement teams serving CTPAT participants can use these control areas when evaluating supplier facility-security practices; the signal does not establish a new mandatory requirement or government purchasing opportunity.
- Envoy is promoting software for visitor management, with Checkr Trust identified as an identity-screening integration provider.
