Common questions about ISO 28000 implementation and certification requirements.
Yes. ISO 28000 is a certifiable management system standard with a 3-year certificate cycle and annual surveillance audits by accredited certification bodies.
Technology is not mandated by the standard. Controls must be risk-based and appropriate to your threat level. GPS and e-seals are common on high-risk lanes but not required for all operations.
No automatic qualification. ISO 28000 provides strong process evidence for the security pillars and speeds readiness, but you must still apply separately to customs programs.
Define clear interface controls, vetting procedures, and monitoring requirements. Include contractor performance in audits and demonstrate due diligence in oversight.
One integrated system covers all sites with risk-based sampling for audits. The certification body determines sample size based on complexity, risk levels, and site similarities.
Paper-only controls with weak lane risk assessments, unmanaged subcontracting relationships, poor seal reconciliation processes, and untested incident response playbooks.
Scope your lanes, secure your handovers, and prove due diligence to customers and customs authorities.
