What is Supply Chain Security Management or ISO 28000 Certification?

ISO 28000 is the internationally accepted standard that aims at assuring security of supply chains amongst the industries.

Businesses in Philippines where international trade and logistics are expanding at a high rate can use ISO 28000 as the ideal model to ensure that there is no security breach, it meets the expectations of the entire globe and that the businesses continue to run uninterrupted.
