What is ISO 28004:2022?

ISO 28004:2022 is a guidance standard that provides detailed instructions on how to apply the requirements of ISO 28000:2022 (Supply Chain Security Management Systems). It does not set new requirements but helps organizations effectively implement ISO 28000 by providing sector-specific and situation-specific advice. ISO 28004 comes in multiple parts — each tailored for different types and sizes of organizations, including logistics providers, import/export businesses, and multinational enterprises.

At Growth Management Corporation, our ISO consultants provide end-to-end support, from gap analysis and risk assessments to documentation, employee training, and internal audits aligned with ISO 28004 guidance.

Why is ISO 28004:2022 important?

As supply chain vulnerabilities rise due to geopolitical tensions, regulatory changes, and cyber threats, ISO 28004 becomes a crucial framework to operationalize robust security practices across borders and partners. The standard helps companies align with global customs security programs like C-TPAT (USA), AEO (India/EU), and SAFE Framework (WCO), enhancing trust and facilitating smoother global trade.

Implementing ISO 28004 also provides a competitive advantage by showcasing your commitment to risk management, customer safety, and regulatory compliance.
