INTRODUCTION ISO 28000:2007ISO 28000 helps organizations to better assess security risks in their supply chain (e.g. theft, terrorism, etc.), manage new threats as they emerge and implement appropriate controls to manage potential security threats.With the growth of international commerce, it has become harder for countries to manage supply chain security on their own. ISO 28000 helps by providing the basis for an overarching Security Management System.ISO 28000 requires organizations to assess the security of their supply chain and operational environment, determine if adequate security measures are in place and ensure compliance with the law.

Excerpt from an interview with vice-chairman of Mandai Logistics Link Mr. Lieh Yiew FahDo you know that when I come in on a Sunday, I have to write in the guard's book what I've come in for, and at what time? Because it's not my office hours. When I leave the facility, at the gate, I have to open my car boot for inspection. By the reception, there used to be a parking space. In the past, all directors could park their cars there. The experts said that under ISO 28000, the private carpark would not be allowed as its close proximity to the warehouse posed a security threat from bombs or terrorists. We were quite reluctant to comply, but we had no choice in order to maintain this ISO 28000.
