Security Management System for the Supply Chain (SMSSC) – Best practices for implementing supply chain security, assessments and plans.
What is ISO 28000?
The ISO 28000 standards on supply chain security management systems, which have just been upgraded from their status of Publicly Available Specifications to that of fully fledged International Standards, will help to reduce risks to people and cargo within the supply chain. The standards address potential security issues at all stages of the supply process, thus targeting threats such as terrorism, fraud and piracy.
Why ISO 28000?
The implementation and certification benefits an organization by providing:
- Reduction of theft, vandalism, crime, etc.
- Implementation of appropriate security measures, after risk analysis
- Enhanced security for value-generating processes (e.g., storage processes)
- Increased customer trust and a smaller risk of responsibility
- It will assist organisation in adopting a suitable risk management approach in supply chain.
- Helps the organisation in managing the security as an organic process
- Initiate a security system with other aspects of the organisation
