Germanischer Lloyd Certification (GLC) is the first to have been authorized to audit and certify according to the industry standard ISO 28000. The new ISO standard for security management systems for the supply chain evaluates the risk management system of companies.
It specifies the requirements to establish, implement, maintain and improve a security management system and how to assure and demonstrate conformity with other and legal security requirements.
A certified security management system enables the supply chain stakeholders to keep ahead of threats. The risk-based approach of ISO 28000 allows to adapt the process to suit each company’s specific size, situation and needs. Compliance with the catalogue of the “Authorised Economic Operator” EU-customs initiative and C-TPAT (the US-customs initiative) can be achieved through an ISO 28000 system.
Checklist
GL has developed a checklist for supply chain security management system, which guides through the system as prescribed by ISO 28000. It covers topics like the identification and assessment of risks, risk mitigation and security planning, implementation of countermeasures, monitoring and the preparation for the certification audit. GL offers the ISO 28000 certification worldwide. With its “Guidelines for the Organizations in the Supply Chain” Germanischer Lloyd additionally provides a step by step guideline for the performance of security risk assessments according to ISO 28001.
IMS
The ISO 28000 management system can be combined with other standards (e.g. ISO 9001, ISO 14001, TAPA, OHSAS) to create an integrated management system (IMS), avoid multiple audits and to achieve a reduction of costs, efforts and time.
