FAQs

The primary goal is to evaluate and ensure the security practices of supply chain partners align with ISO 28000 standards, identifying potential vulnerabilities and areas for improvement in the extended supply chain network.

Assessments should be conducted initially before onboarding new partners, annually for existing partners, and more frequently for high-risk or critical partners or when significant changes occur in their operations or the threat landscape.

The process should involve procurement managers, security specialists, supply chain analysts, and representatives from legal and compliance departments to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of partner security practices.

The checklist covers areas such as physical security measures, information security practices, personnel security procedures, transportation security protocols, incident response capabilities, and compliance with relevant regulations and standards.

Organizations can use the results to make informed decisions about partner selection, develop targeted improvement plans for existing partners, enhance contractual security requirements, and strengthen overall supply chain security governance in line with ISO 28000 standards.
