Abstract

ISO/PAS 28000:2005 specifies the requirements for a security management system, including those aspects critical to security assurance of the supply chain. These aspects include, but are not limited to, financing, manufacturing, information management and the facilities for packing, storing and transferring goods between modes of transport and locations. Security management is linked to many other aspects of business management. These other aspects should be considered directly, where and when they have an impact on security management, including transporting these goods along the supply chain.

ISO/PAS 28000:2005 is applicable to all sizes of organizations, from small to multinational, in manufacturing, service, storage or transportation at any stage of the production or supply chain that wishes to:

1. establish, implement, maintain and improve a security management system;
2. assure compliance with stated security management policy;
3. demonstrate such compliance to others;
4. seek certification/registration of its security management system by an Accredited third party Certification Body; or
5. make a self-determination and self-declaration of compliance with ISO/PAS 28000:2005.

There are legislative and regulatory codes that address some of the requirements in ISO/PAS 28000:2005. It is not the intention of ISO/PAS 28000:2005 to require duplicative demonstration of compliance.

Organizations that choose third party certification can further demonstrate that they are contributing significantly to supply chain security.

ISO 28000

With the globalisation of trade, risk and security issues are key elements of the corporate strategy management plan, and can no longer be paid lip service. Risk and security apply to all aspects of trade globalisation whether it is the facility, the product, the people (manufactures, logistics etc), information and intangibles and / or Transportation.

A security incident, directly or indirectly can affect market share/position, reputation, credibility, etc. and therefore a mitigation solution must be in place.

Globalisation issues have also be identified by governments and international bodies who have put various initiatives together (ISO 28000, AEO, ISPS, CIS, C-TPAT, etc) to aid organisations in understanding, developing, interfacing, implementing, risk and security solutions, policies and procedures that are accepted and bench marked international with other similar or diverse organisations.

ISClass understand this and have developed consultancy, products and services to help our clients understand and mitigate what come be a catastrophic issue if the unthinkable occurred, understanding that the majority of companies struggle to recover from a major security / risk incident. Our consultancy is across all industry sectors, but obviously specialising in the maritime, offshore and terminal areas.

ISClass risk and security consultancy services help any business, irrespective of current status or circumstance, to develop and implement pertinent documentation, to attain international accreditation such as ISO 28000 (Supply Chain Security).

The aim of such accreditations for all participants, business and trading partners is to establish and maintain appropriate risk & security measures for safeguarding people, goods, infrastructure, equipment and information within their particular area of responsibility and ensure that there is that continuity of security throughout the entire chain. This will enhance trade facilitation for legitimate trade that meets certain security standards. Specifically, authorized economic operators (AEO) can receive mutual recognition of their AEO status from other Customs administrations for securing their entire supply chain.

What this means for you

In the concept, design and construction of your terminal / facility the completed solution meets the expection of the end user for the risk and security perspective.

For the supply chain, your products reach there market quicker which will result in reductions of costs to your business due to streamlining/fast tracking the throughput of product at international points of entry - LAND, AIR & SEA.
