INSTITUTE FOR STANDARD AND QUALITY DEVELOPMENT STUDIES
The ISO 28000 Specification for Security Management Systems for the Supply Chain is applicable to organizations of all sizes—from small enterprises to multinational corporations—involved in manufacturing, service, storage, or transportation at any stage of the production or supply chain, seeking to:
Establish, implement, maintain, and improve a security management system;
Ensure compliance with stated security management policies;
Demonstrate such compliance to external stakeholders;
Seek certification/registration of their security management system by an accredited third-party certification body.
When businesses scale into larger markets, supply chain vulnerabilities become a paramount concern. Furthermore, the dynamic nature of new environments can overwhelm organizations, making system maintenance difficult. ISO 28000 certification helps businesses navigate this complexity by facilitating efficient and rapid security solutions.
As global trade expands, so does the risk of counterfeit goods and security breaches infiltrating your supply chain. Based on the ISO 28000 standard, a supply chain security management system identifies risk levels across all operational activities. This data allows your organization to conduct precise risk assessments and implement necessary control measures.
The standard defines the requirements for a security management system and provides a framework for companies wishing to implement it. ISO 28000 offers guidance on:
Developing and implementing supply chain security processes.
Establishing and documenting minimum security levels throughout the supply chain.
Assisting in compliance with current legal requirements, government-set criteria, and international supply chain security programs.
Step 1: Receipt of certification application.
Step 2: Execution of the Science and Technology service contract.
Step 3: Conduct on-site surveys and audits.
Step 4: Finalize documentation post-audit.
Step 5: File review and issuance of certificate (upon successful compliance).
Step 6: Surveillance audits (conducted at intervals not exceeding 12 months).
Step 7: Recertification audit (upon the 3-year certificate expiration).
Adopting the ISO 28000 standard helps companies establish appropriate security levels across international supply chains. Simultaneously, it provides a foundation for identifying and verifying existing security protocols, thereby mitigating future risks, increasing business opportunities, and driving profitability.
