The ISO 28001 Certificate is a certification that demonstrates a supply chain security management system has been established and operated in accordance with international standards. The ISO 28001 standard aims to reduce risks during the transportation of products and services, identify security vulnerabilities, and implement preventive measures. Organizations holding this certificate prove that they maintain a secure and transparent structure within the global trade chain.
In today’s world, logistics and supply chains are not just about transportation—they face multiple threats, including cybersecurity risks, terrorism, theft, and operational disruptions. The ISO 28001 Certificate provides a management model that systematically analyzes and addresses these risks. It is particularly crucial for organizations involved in customs procedures, international logistics, and sensitive sectors such as food and pharmaceuticals.
How to Obtain ISO 28001 Certificate
To obtain the ISO 28001 Certificate, a company must first evaluate its existing supply chain management system. After analyzing the current setup, a system compliant with ISO 28001 must be implemented, and the necessary documentation prepared. This includes risk analysis, security threat assessments, procedure development, and employee training. Once these steps are completed, the organization can apply to an accredited certification body.
The certification process generally includes the following steps:
-
Analysis of existing processes and risks (gap analysis)
-
Preparation of security risk assessments and business continuity plans
-
Development of documentation and procedures
-
Employee training and awareness programs
-
Internal audits and corrective/preventive actions
-
Audit by a certification body
