What is ISO 28000?

ISO 28000 is officially titled:

β€œSecurity and resilience β€” Security management systems β€” Requirements”

It provides a comprehensive framework for organizations to:

  1. πŸ›‘οΈ Assess security risks within the supply chain
  2. πŸ” Identify potential threats, vulnerabilities, and impacts
  3. πŸ”„ Implement controls and procedures to mitigate security risks
  4. πŸ“Š Monitor, audit, and improve the security management system

ISO 28000 is applicable to all types and sizes of organizations involved in production, warehousing, transportation, logistics, import/export, freight forwarding, port operations, and more.

Why is ISO 28000 important?

Global supply chains are increasingly complex and vulnerable. ISO 28000 addresses these concerns by enabling organizations to:

  1. 🚨 Prevent and respond to disruptions (theft, sabotage, piracy, etc.)
  2. βœ… Demonstrate compliance with customs, trade, and government security initiatives (e.g., CTPAT, AEO, TAPA)
  3. πŸ” Build trust with customers, regulators, and partners by showing commitment to supply chain security

ISO 28000 helps build resilient, secure, and reliable supply chainsβ€”a necessity for any company involved in cross-border operations.
