Worldwide First with the Philippines as SGS Global Technical Competence Center
SGS Philippines is the first entity in the world to be accredited for ISO 28000 Security Management Systems for Supply Chain by the ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB). The ANAB is the US accreditation body which assesses and accredits certification bodies that demonstrate competence to audit and certify organizations conforming to management systems standards. The ANAB Certificate was accepted, on behalf of the SGS Group, by SGS Philippines, Inc. (PH) and SGS North America (NAM).
SGS PH, the Philippine affiliate of the SGS Group, spearheads the global promotion of ISO 28000 as it is named as the SGS Global Technical Competence Center for the SGS Group worldwide. With its accreditation, the SGS Group is authorized to audit and assess processes and certify other companies and organizations around the world for the ISO 28000 standard under the ANAB accreditation.
ISO 28000 certification applies to all organizations that implement a security management system and integrate their security management into their overall quality management system, applicable for both small-medium enterprises and large multinationals in the sectors of manufacturing, service, storage, or transportation, to name a few. Certification against the requirements of the ISO 28000 standard also enables organizations to perform risk assessment with supporting management tools (i.e. document controls, key performance indicators, internal audits and training) and applies the controls in accordance with the risk involved.
Certification against the ISO 28000 standard:
Allows security to be managed as a process so that the effectiveness of security management can be measured and improved
Allows management to focus resources and efforts on areas with high-risk concerns (through security risk assessment)
Allows management to benchmark its security management efforts with international standards
Demonstrates to stakeholders the commitment to enforce a systematic security management
SGS is the global leader in the field of transportation and supply chain security. We also advise on policies and procedures against both applicable legal requirements and international best practices to identify areas of key bribery risks and ensure anti-corruption compliance within organizations' supply chains.
