Iso 28000 certification in mumbai security management system for the supply chain with iso 28000 supply chain security challenge in today’s global economic landscape, security management has become a complex challenge in all areas of industry and, in particular, supply chains. Supply chain security is now, and will continue to be, an integral component of business and trade landscapes. This is evident from a significant increase in regulatory compliance (for example in ‘voluntary’ initiatives such as C-TPAT and Authorised Economic Operator), threat awareness and a greater vulnerability of significant supply disruption caused by an unconnected event in another part of the world.Whilst the threat spotlight is currently shining on terrorism, this has cast a shadow on other more pervasive and statistically more realistic threats to small, medium and large businesses.  For example: theft and other criminal activity is estimated to cost the maritime and logistics industry between $30 - $50 billion per year[1]; people and weapon smuggling (in some cases organised by criminal gangs with the profits going to fund terrorism); and the transportation of counterfeit goods.Companies face three options on how they approach supply chain security initiatives and ISO28000:  Firstly, the ‘Head in the Sand’ approach: the company can ignore the issue in the belief that the cost will be too steep in comparison to any benefit and hope that supply chain security will lose its importance to their customers and governments.  Unfortunately for those company’s, supply chain security has become for governments “more than an important issue; it has become a strategic issue.As a participant in the drafting committee of ISO 28000 and as a commercial entity itself, Hart understands that any investment a company makes must ultimately translate into commercial value and provide a positive return on that investment.  ISO 28000 can be such an investment.  The following table of ISO 28000 benefits has been created from the experiences of our ISO28000 clients:   Commercial and competitive advantage-ISO 28000 provides an unambiguous demonstration that an organisation takes not only its own security seriously, but also the security of goods its customers expect it to protect. Over time, ISO 28000 will become the international benchmark for companies to demonstrate their commitment to security.Companies adopting the standard have also gained brand equity through the clear demonstration of their commitment to security. Risk Management- ISO 28000 takes a pragmatic and business-centric approach to risk management. The standard promotes risk management as a central component of effective management. Most importantly, the standard ensures that key decision making, particularly in relation to the commitment of resources, is done based on a process of effective risk assessment. Resilience and Brand Protection-ISO 28000 benefits the organisation through increasing its organisational resilience. This reduces the risk that the company will be irreparably damaged by incidents impacting its operations, financial health or reputation. Improved resource management- Companies implementing ISO 28000 will very quickly be in a position to identify wasteful and inefficient resource management practices.This particularly applies to the management of the security budget, where the standard provides for an increased level of accountability at all levels. Benefits to corporate governance- The adoption of ISO 28000 provides a clear demonstration of effective corporate governance.Protecting company and client’s assets improve company value and shareholder protection. Employee Safety and Security- Perhaps one of its most important benefits, the implementation of ISO 28000 within an organisation has a direct impact on improving the level of safety and security for employees.This will have an impact on levels of staff satisfaction and retention which will have an impact on customer satisfaction.
