Certification According to ISO 28000

Protect your business processes and supply chains against theft and terrorism. Identify gaps in your security on time. Avoid taking unnecessary risks for goods and equipment - along the entire supply chain. Bundle your existing management systems for hazard prevention with the ISO 28000:2007 standard, and make your employees aware of how important proper security measures are. Just ask our experts. We would be glad to inform you.

ISO 28000:2007 certification enables you to:

• Prove your advanced approach to transport security
• Pool available transport security standards in one unified management system
• Prevent running up cost for multiple certifications
• Optimize your processes and ensure that the supply chain remains free of disruptions
• Present yourself as a professional partner to customers, authorities, and investors

Our auditors support you during the six-step certification process.

1. Preliminary Audit (optional)

Our auditors conduct a preliminary audit to determine whether any requirements associated with this standard have already been implemented in your company and, if so, which ones.

2. Documentation Review

The auditing team determines the extent to which the documentation for your IT security management system already concurs with the ISO 28000 requirements.

3. Audit

Our auditors monitor your company's practical application of its security management system to test how effective it is.

4. Issue of Certificate

If your company meets all of the criteria, your company is then awarded the certificate, showing compliance of your security management system with the DIN 28000 norm.

5. Surveillance Audits

Our annual surveillance assessments help you continuously optimize your processes.

6. Certification Renewal

After three years, the audit is repeated for certification renewal. This ensures continued improvement in your processes and also documents to partners and customers your long-term commitment to greater security.

ISO 28000 certification gives you more than just extra transport security. Our auditors also take a detailed look at your finances and information management system, as well as all your packaging, storage, and transportation processes - meaning that the certification process will lead to significant gains in efficiency for your company.

In the wake of September 11, 2001, countless new standards have been introduced - with varying specifications depending on which regions or transportation routes your serve. The ISO 28000 standard is an internationally valid standard and combines these various requirements in one comprehensive set of rules.

Benefit from additional synergies by incorporating your security management system in an integrated management system strategy. For instance, you could also consider combining it with environmental and occupational health and safety certification. If you have already have a quality management system implemented in compliance with the ISO 9001 standard, you can save yourself a considerable amount of effort at this stage.
