ISO 28000 Foundation

Overview

Introduction:

Supply chain security management represents a structured discipline that governs how organizations protect assets, operations, and information flows across complex global supply networks. ISO 28000 represents an integrated framework that aligns security risk management, operational control, and organizational governance to ensure resilience and continuity within supply chain environments. This training program presents structured security governance frameworks, supply chain protection architectures, risk management models, and performance evaluation systems that define Security Management Systems. It provides an institutional perspective on how organizations align security strategies, operational processes, and risk controls to safeguard supply chain integrity and continuity.

Program Objectives:

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

  • Analyze Security Management System structures within supply chain environments.

  • Classify ISO 28000 concepts, principles, and requirements across security governance domains.

  • Evaluate policy, leadership, and risk management frameworks within security management systems.

  • Assess operational control and security treatment structures within supply chain environments.

  • Examine performance evaluation and improvement architectures within security management systems.

Target Audience:

  • Supply chain and logistics professionals.

  • Security and risk management specialists.

  • Operations and infrastructure managers.

  • Compliance and governance professionals.
