Overview of ISO 28000
ISO 28000:2022 Security and resilience — Security management systems — Requirements (SMS)
ISO 28001 is a management system standard published by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that specifies requirements for a security management system including aspects relevant to the supply chain.
ISO 28000 establishes a security system that will protect people, goods, infrastructure, equipment, and transportation against security incidents and other potentially devastating situations. It specifies the requirements to establish, implement, maintain, improve, and audit a security management system for the supply chain.
Who Should Use ISO 28000?
- Organizations of all types and sizes can implement ISO 28000 SMS.
It does not matter what size your organization is:
- Any organisation with as few as 2 persons to as large as million persons can benefit from ISO 28000 SMS.
It does not matter what type of organization you are:
- commercial enterprises;
- government or other public agencies;
- non-profit organizations;
- manufacturing;
- service; or
- storage or transportation at any stage of the production or supply chain;
you can use ISO 28000 to establish, implement, maintain and improve a security management system and benefit from it.
- Any organization that wants to gain an internationally recognized framework for implementing a security management system.
- Any organization that wants to optimize the processes and ensure that the supply chain remains free of disruptions.
Why Should You Use ISO 28000?
- You want to ensure that the security and threats coming from logistical operations and supply chain partners are being managed and controlled.
- You want to monitor and manage security risks throughout your business and supply chain.
- You want to reassure stakeholders of your organization’s commitment to the safety of individuals and the security of goods and services.
- You may face the risks and lost opportunities involved with not having an ISO 28000:
- where ISO 28000 may be a legal or contractual requirement; and
- you will potentially be eligible for more lucrative, large scale both government and private sector contracts that are only offered to organisations that have ISO 28000.
