ISO 28000:2007 is a management system standard which has been developed particularly for logistics companies and organizations that manage deliver chain operations. Published as a Publicly Available Specification by the International Standards Organization in 2005, this was replaced in 2007 by the full standard, ISO 28000:2007.

ISO 28000 establishes a safety system that will guard people, goods, infrastructure, tools, and transportation against security incidents and other potentially devastating situations. It specifies the supplies to establish, implement, maintain, progress, and audit a security management system.

ISO 28000 is the international standard that specifies the needs for a security management system, including those aspects dangerous to security assurance of the supply chain. Security management is linked to many other aspects of business management. Aspects include all activities controlled or influenced by organizations that have an effect on supply chain security. These other aspects should be considered directly, where and when they have a force on security management, including transporting these goods along the supply chain.
