With increasing globalization, many companies rely on a supply chain that is on the other side of the world to ship parts, components, or finished products.

ISO 28000 offers organizations whose business relates to the logistics industry, a framework to identify each aspect that is critical to the security assurance of their supply chains. These include financing, manufacturing, and information management. Facilities for packing, storing, and transferring goods on their way to locations via various modes of transportation are also included in this standard.
