ISO 28000 — Supply Chain Security Management
ISO 28000 specifies requirements for a security management system covering assessment of security risks across your supply chain — from procurement through transport to delivery.
Why it matters
Supply chains face threats from theft, tampering, smuggling and terrorism. ISO 28000 gives organisations a structured way to assess these risks and implement proportionate security controls across logistics operations.
It is applicable to any organisation in the supply chain — manufacturers, freight forwarders, ports, customs brokers and logistics providers.
