ISO 28000 Security Management System for the Supply Chain is a management standard developed to manage security risks at critical points of the supply chain. This system is designed to ensure the security of transported goods and maintain supply chain continuity. By enabling proactive measures against threats such as theft, smuggling, sabotage, and terrorism, it prevents security incidents and reduces potential losses. It is a fundamental tool for enhancing reliability and trust in international trade and logistics operations.
Security Risk Assessment and Planning It enables you to identify and analyze security threats and vulnerabilities encountered at all stages of your supply chain (production, storage, transport, transit, customs clearance) and to develop comprehensive security plans covering physical, personnel, information, and transport security against these risks.
Supply Chain Collaboration and Communication It encourages establishing a consistent and proactive security culture throughout the entire supply chain by sharing security information, creating common security protocols, and defining trust levels with your suppliers, logistics service providers, customs authorities, and all other stakeholders.
Monitoring and Improving Security Performance It requires you to establish Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to monitor your progress toward reaching defined security goals, conduct regular internal audits, and continuously improve the system through management reviews.
Incident Management and Improvement It mandates the creation of procedures for effective intervention, investigation, and recovery when a security breach, incident, or emergency occurs. It aims to strengthen the system and plans by learning from these incidents.
It is suitable for all organizations at any point in the supply chain, including sea, air, road, and rail transport companies, logistics providers, warehouse operators, customs brokerage firms, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers.
ISO 28000 is a comprehensive management system requirement standard. ISO 28001, on the other hand, is more of a security standard for specific parts of the supply chain (e.g., maritime transport). ISO 28000 provides a more general and high-level framework.
Absolutely. An ISO 28000 certificate proves that your security management system complies with an internationally recognized standard, providing strong technical evidence and trust during the AEO application process.
The spirit of the standard is based on supply chain collaboration. Ensuring that your suppliers have similar security controls and supporting this through contracts is crucial for holistic risk management.
Yes; it provides a critical management framework and a sign of trust, especially regarding cloud service provider selection, contract reviews, and ensuring the security of data in the cloud.
