ISO 28000:2007 is an ISO standard published by International Organization for Standardization which includes requirements of a security management system particularly dealing with security assurance in the supply chain. The standard was developed by ISO/TC 8 on "Ships and maritime technology" and published in 2007. In 2015 the responsibility for the ISO 28000 series was transferred to ISO/TC 292 on "Security and resilience", who in 2019 decided to start a revision which is expected to take 3 years. A justification study for the revision has been accepted by ISO TMB.
Scope and contents
ISO 28000:2007 was developed to codify operations of security within the broader supply chain management system. The PDCAmanagement systems structure was adopted in developing ISO 28000:2007 to bring the elements of this standard in congruence with related standards such as ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001:2004. The scope of the revised document will be changed only in so far as its new wording will be in conformity to today's way of writing standards: " specifies requirements for a security management system, including those aspects crucial to security assurance of the supply chain". ISO 28000 includes the following main clauses :
Annex A Correspondence between ISO 28000:2007, ISO 14001:2004 and ISO 9001:2000
Benefits
Adopting the ISO 28000 has broad strategic, organisational and operational benefits that are realized throughout supply chains and business practices. Benefits include, but are not limited to:
Benchmarking against internationally recognisable criteria
Greater compliance processes
Improved risk management integration
The development of an international standard addressing security risk management improves the broader interface with existing enterprise risk management in a common integrated platform. This integrated approach to risk management is often employed to better coordinate cross functional risk management mechanisms, improve performance measurement, ensure continual improvement and reducing misalignment of risk management objectives between silos.
Application
ISO 28000:2007 was developed such that organizations of varying scale could apply the standard to supply chains of various degrees of complexity. The general rational for an organization to adopt ISO 28000:2007 pertains to:
developing a security management system,
internal compliance with objectives of a security management policy,
ISO 28000:2007 is a certifiable standard. In 2016, the countries with the highest number of certificates were India, Japan, Spain, US and UK.
History
ISO 28000 was originally developed as a Publicly Available Specification by ISO technical committee ISO/TC 8 on Ships and marine technology and published in 2005. In 2007, ISO/PAS 28000:2005 was withdrawn and replaced by a full ISO standard under the title ISO 28000:2007. In 2014, ISO 28000:2007 was reviewed and confirmed. In 2015, ISO/TC 292 Security and resilience took over the responsibility of the standard and decided later in 2019 to initiate a revision of the standard.
Revision
has established a , who will review and update the standard. ISO 28000 will be restructured to align it with other management system standards of ISO in accordance with Annex SL to support the integration of an organization's security management system with its other management systems. It is not planned to delete any of the requirements in the existing standard, nor is it planned to add new requirements, so organizations currently certified in accordance with ISO 28000 will not encounter any difficulties due to the revision.
