ISO 28000
Safeguarding global trade through resilient and secure supply chains
ISO 28000 – Supply Chain Security Management System
ISO 28000 is the internationally recognised standard for supply chain security management. It provides organisations with a framework to assess and mitigate risks such as theft, terrorism, smuggling, piracy, cyberattacks, and natural disruptions that can threaten the flow of goods and services.
Adopted by transport operators, logistics providers, manufacturers, ports, and freight companies worldwide, ISO 28000 establishes resilience in the face of growing global vulnerabilities. It integrates seamlessly with other ISO standards, allowing organisations to align security practices with quality, safety, and environmental systems.
Implementing ISO 28000 demonstrates a clear commitment to safeguarding assets, protecting people, and ensuring uninterrupted operations. The standard guides organisations in establishing processes that secure supply chains, respond effectively to incidents, and build confidence with clients, regulators, and business partners.

Why ISO 28000 Matters
Supply chains are the lifeblood of global trade, but they are also increasingly exposed to complex risks. A single disruption can cause costly delays, reputational damage, and even regulatory penalties.
ISO 28000 matters because it helps organisations anticipate these risks and respond with resilience. Certification sends a strong message: your organisation takes security seriously and is prepared to safeguard goods, people, and data across borders. In industries such as logistics, energy, defence, and international trade, it is a powerful differentiator and often a prerequisite for major contracts.
ISO 28000 enables leadership to adopt a proactive security culture while equipping staff to identify vulnerabilities and respond decisively. It is not just about protecting assets — it is about ensuring long-term reliability, competitiveness, and trust in global markets.

Key Elements of ISO 28000:2007
ISO 28000:2007 specifies the requirements for a security management system, focusing on all aspects critical to supply chain security. Unlike traditional approaches, it integrates security management into the broader context of business operations, ensuring that all activities affecting supply chain safety are systematically addressed.
This standard is designed for organizations of any size — from small enterprises to multinational corporations — involved in manufacturing, services, storage, or transportation at any stage of the production or supply chain.
ISO 28000:2007 includes:
Security management integration:
Embedding security considerations into all activities that impact supply chain operations, from transportation to storage.
Risk-based approach:
Identifying and managing security risks across processes, vendors, and partners to ensure resilient supply chains.
Policy conformance and accountability:
Establishing, implementing, and maintaining a security management policy, and demonstrating compliance to stakeholders.
Certification and verification:
Supporting organizations in seeking third-party certification, or self-declaration of conformity, to reinforce trust and credibility.
Our approach ensures that ISO 28000:2007 is not just a checklist but a framework for strengthening your supply chain security, integrating policies, processes, and people to reduce risks and enhance resilience.
