The international standard ISO 28000 states requirements for a security management system for the supply chain. It applies to organizations of any size and any industry that is part of any form of a supply chain, from raw material providers to distributors. This approach emphasizes supply chain security by identifying and managing any potential threats to ensure that business activities can be conducted as smoothly as possible.

It applies to the whole process of risk management within the supply chain, from assessing and planning up to the response to incidents. The main idea of ISO 28000 is to minimize disturbances and enhance the security in general of business operations. Why do You Need Supply Chain Security?

Any disruption in the supply chain may turn out to be quite disastrous for business operations, giving resultant losses and delayed deliveries and customer dissatisfaction.
