ISO/PAS 28000:2007 Security Management Systems for the Supply Chain

ISO/PAS 28000:2007 (Specification for security management systems for the supply chain) is an International Organization for Standardization publicly available specification, on requirements of a security management system particularly dealing with security assurance in the supply chain.

ISO 28000:2007 was developed to codify security operations, within the broader supply chain management system.

The development of an international standard addressing security risk management, improves the broader interface with existing enterprise risk management in a common integrated platform.
