This standard identifies the requirements for a supply chain security management system, relating security management to many other aspects of business management. These include all activities controlled or influenced by organizations that impact supply chain security, which includes transportation of these goods along the supply chain. ISO 28000 uses additional pragmatic approach where the risk levels of your supply chain operations are identified.

It enables your organization to execute a risk assessment with supporting management tools (I.e., document controls, key performance indicators, internal audits and training) and implements the controls in accordance with the risk involved.

The environmental aspects identification and evaluation process in EMS is similar to security risk assessment in security management.
