28000ISO

28000ISO, also known as ISO/IEC 28000, is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It specifies requirements for a security management system (SMS) within the supply chain. The standard is designed to help organizations implement, maintain, and continually improve security measures to protect their supply chains from potential threats and vulnerabilities.

ISO/IEC 28000 is particularly relevant to organizations involved in the transportation, warehousing, and distribution of goods. It provides a framework for identifying security risks, implementing controls to mitigate those risks, and monitoring the effectiveness of those controls. The standard is aligned with other ISO management system standards, such as ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO 14001 for environmental management, making it easier for organizations to integrate security management into their existing systems.

The standard is divided into several sections, including scope, normative references, terms and definitions, security management system requirements, and guidance on implementation. Organizations that comply with ISO/IEC 28000 can demonstrate their commitment to security and risk management, which can enhance their reputation and provide a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

ISO/IEC 28000 is part of a family of standards related to supply chain security, including ISO/IEC 28001, which provides guidelines for the implementation of ISO/IEC 28000, and ISO/IEC 28002, which offers guidance on conducting a supply chain security risk assessment. Together, these standards provide a comprehensive framework for managing security risks in the supply chain.
