ISO 28000 Consultancy in Saudi Arabia
ISO 28000:2022, Security and resilience - Security management systems - Requirements, specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and improving a security management system. The standard includes aspects relevant to supply-chain security but is intentionally broader than logistics alone. It can be applied by organizations of different types and sizes and across internal and external activities.
For Saudi organizations, ISO 28000 can provide a common framework for security governance across facilities, people, assets, cargo, contractors, suppliers, information, transport interfaces and critical operating activities. It is especially useful where security risks cross departmental or organizational boundaries and where evidence of consistent security controls is important to clients, partners, insurers, regulators or senior management.
Qdot translates ISO 28000 requirements into an operating system that fits the organization’s actual risk profile. Instead of creating a generic security manual, we review physical locations, supply-chain flows, high-value assets, access points, critical suppliers, logistics routes, security responsibilities, incident history, technology interfaces, emergency arrangements and existing management systems before designing controls.
Current ISO 28000 Standard Status
ISO 28000:2022 is the current second edition of the standard. It was published in March 2022 and replaced the earlier ISO 28000:2007 edition. ISO 28000:2022/Amd 1:2024 introduced the climate-action changes that apply to the standard. Organizations implementing or auditing the system should therefore use the current 2022 requirements together with the applicable 2024 amendment.
The 2022 edition uses the harmonized management-system structure, making integration with standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 22301 more practical. The standard is not restricted to one sector and can be used wherever a structured security management system is appropriate.
ISO 28000 Certification in Saudi Arabia
ISO 28000 is a requirements-based management-system standard and organizations can pursue third-party ISO 28000 certification. The certification route normally includes application and scope definition, a Stage 1 audit, a Stage 2 certification audit, closure of any nonconformities, certification decision and periodic surveillance audits during the certification cycle.
Qdot supports clients up to certification readiness but remains independent from the certificate-issuing decision. The chosen certification body should be evaluated carefully. Accreditation availability can differ by country and accreditation body, so organizations should verify that the proposed ISO 28000 certification is issued under a credible, relevant accreditation or recognized certification arrangement and that the certification body has competence for the required scope and sector.
ISO 28000 certification should not be presented as automatic approval by Saudi customs, port authorities, regulators, clients or supply-chain programmes. Customer approvals, government licences, Authorized Economic Operator programmes, transport-security requirements and sector-specific rules remain separate obligations unless explicitly linked by the relevant authority or contract.
Why ISO 28000 Matters for Organizations in Saudi Arabia
- Creates a structured security management system instead of relying only on individual guards, cameras or isolated procedures.
- Links security risks to business objectives, operations, supply-chain dependencies and management decision-making.
- Helps identify threats, vulnerabilities, consequences and existing controls in a consistent risk-assessment process.
- Improves control of access, visitors, contractors, vehicles, warehouses, loading areas and sensitive operational zones.
- Strengthens security requirements for suppliers, logistics partners, subcontractors and other external providers.
- Improves incident reporting, investigation, escalation, corrective action and lessons learned.
- Supports better protection of cargo, materials, equipment, documents, information and other valuable assets.
- Provides measurable security objectives, KPIs, audit evidence and management-review inputs.
- Helps multi-site organizations standardize security requirements while allowing site-specific risk controls.
- Creates a certification-ready framework where customers or markets request independently audited security management.
Who Can Use ISO 28000?
- Logistics companies, freight forwarders, third-party logistics providers and distribution networks.
- Warehouses, fulfilment centres, cold-chain operators and high-value storage facilities.
- Port, terminal, shipping, marine-service and port-linked organizations.

Qdot 12-Step ISO 28000 Consultancy Methodology
Step 1 - Organizational Context and Security Scope
We identify sites, activities, products, services, supply-chain interfaces, stakeholders, contractual requirements, legal obligations, security-sensitive assets and the intended certification scope. The scope is designed to be clear, auditable and aligned with actual organizational control.
Step 2 - ISO 28000 Gap Assessment
Qdot compares current security practices against ISO 28000:2022 requirements and the applicable amendment. The review covers governance, risk assessment, operational controls, resources, competence, documentation, monitoring, internal audit, management review and improvement.
Step 3 - Security Policy, Governance and Responsibilities
We establish or strengthen security policy, leadership commitments, accountable roles, site responsibilities, escalation routes, security committees and interfaces between security, operations, logistics, HR, IT, procurement, HSE and management.
Step 4 - Security Risk Assessment Methodology
Qdot develops a practical method to identify threats, vulnerabilities, exposure, consequences and current controls. Risk criteria, scoring, acceptance rules and review triggers are documented so risk decisions are repeatable and evidence-based.
Step 5 - Risk Treatment and Security Controls
For significant risks, we define treatment actions, responsibilities, deadlines and controls. Controls may address physical security, personnel, access, cargo, vehicles, information, contractors, suppliers, monitoring, incident response, emergency arrangements and recovery.
Step 6 - Supply-Chain Mapping and Interface Security
We map critical inbound and outbound flows, external logistics providers, transfer points, warehouses, ports, yards, production interfaces and handovers. Security requirements are assigned to each critical interface and external provider.
Step 7 - Operational Security Procedures
Qdot develops proportionate procedures and work instructions for access control, visitor management, vehicle entry, key/card control, restricted areas, cargo handling, seal control where applicable, warehouse security, dispatch, contractor control and other risk-relevant activities.
Step 8 - Incident, Emergency and Recovery Controls
We establish incident reporting, escalation, investigation, evidence preservation, communication, corrective action and recovery interfaces. Where the organization has business continuity or emergency systems, ISO 28000 controls are aligned with those arrangements.
Step 9 - Competence, Awareness and Communication
Security responsibilities are converted into role-specific competence and awareness requirements. Training can cover threat awareness, suspicious behaviour, incident reporting, access rules, cargo protection, contractor obligations and supervisor responsibilities.
Step 10 - Security Objectives, KPIs and Documented Information
We define measurable objectives, performance indicators, inspection and monitoring routines, records, document controls and dashboards. The focus is on evidence that helps management identify weak controls and recurring risks.
Step 11 - Internal Audit and Management Review
Qdot conducts or supports internal audits, checks closure of findings and prepares management review inputs. Leadership reviews performance, significant risks, incidents, changes, audit results, resources, objectives and improvement opportunities.
Step 12 - Pre-Certification Assessment and Certification Support
We perform a final readiness review, support corrective actions, organize audit evidence and help teams prepare for Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits. Qdot can support responses to certification-body findings while maintaining the independence of the certification decision.
Security Risk Assessment and Risk Treatment
Security risk assessment is central to an effective ISO 28000 system. The objective is not to create a theoretical register but to identify where security failures could disrupt people, operations, supply chains, customers, assets or reputation and then apply controls that are proportionate to the risk.
- Identification of critical assets, operations, information and supply-chain nodes.
- Threat identification covering internal, external, intentional and relevant accidental scenarios.
- Vulnerability assessment for facilities, processes, people, technology and third parties.
- Assessment of likelihood, consequence and existing control effectiveness.
- Defined risk criteria and escalation thresholds.
- Risk-treatment plans with owners, resources and completion dates.
- Residual-risk review and formal acceptance where appropriate.
- Reassessment after incidents, major changes, new sites, new routes, new suppliers or emerging threats.
Supply-Chain Mapping and Third-Party Security
Security risks often sit at interfaces between organizations. Qdot helps clients map where custody, information or operational responsibility changes and then embed security requirements into supplier selection, contracts, service-level arrangements and performance reviews.
- Identification of critical suppliers, carriers, freight forwarders, subcontractors and outsourced services.
- Security criteria during prequalification and onboarding.
- Contract clauses and documented security responsibilities.
- Rules for access to sites, systems, equipment and sensitive information.
- Cargo, vehicle, seal, dispatch and receipt controls where relevant.
- Incident-notification and investigation obligations.
- Supplier security audits, performance reviews and corrective actions for high-risk providers.
- Exit, offboarding and access-removal controls when relationships end.
Physical, Facility and Access Security
ISO 28000 does not prescribe one physical-security design for every organization. Controls should be based on risk, site layout, asset criticality, operating hours, local conditions and contractual requirements. Qdot can help convert risk findings into documented, auditable controls.
- Perimeter, gate and entry-point controls.
- Employee, visitor, contractor and delivery-driver access processes.
- Identification badges, keys, cards and access-right management.
- Restricted-area classification and authorization.
- Vehicle entry, parking, loading-bay and yard controls.
- CCTV or monitoring governance where used, including responsibilities and records.
- Lighting, barriers, alarms and other physical-security controls based on risk.
- Security inspections, patrol records and defect escalation.
- After-hours, weekend and emergency access arrangements.
Cargo, Warehouse and Transport Security
Organizations responsible for goods, materials, tools, equipment or high-value cargo can use ISO 28000 to create consistent controls from receipt through storage, staging, dispatch and transfer to another party.
- Receiving and dispatch verification.
- Controlled loading and unloading areas.
- Cargo identification, traceability and custody records where required.
- Seal management and integrity checks where applicable.
- Warehouse zoning and restricted storage areas.
- Damage, tampering, shortage and suspicious-condition reporting.
- Vehicle and driver verification requirements.
- Route, stop, parking and handover controls based on risk.
- Controls for returns, rejected goods and reverse logistics.
Personnel Security, Competence and Security Culture
Security performance depends on people as much as technology. Qdot helps organizations define appropriate pre-employment, onboarding, role authorization, awareness, supervision and exit controls subject to applicable Saudi law, organizational policy and legitimate business need.
- Role-based security responsibilities and competence requirements.
- Induction and periodic awareness training.
- Clear rules for badges, access credentials, keys and sensitive information.
- Processes for reporting suspicious activity and security weaknesses.
- Supervisor responsibilities for contractor and temporary-worker compliance.
- Confidentiality and acceptable-use requirements where relevant.
- Access review after role changes, transfer, suspension or termination.
- Records demonstrating training, authorization and awareness activities.
Information and Technology Security Interfaces
Modern supply chains depend on digital systems, tracking platforms, warehouse systems, access-control technology, CCTV, electronic documents and communication networks. ISO 28000 can address security risks connected to these resources, but it does not replace a dedicated information-security management system where ISO/IEC 27001-level controls are required.
- Identification of security-critical systems and information flows.
- Access and authorization for logistics, warehouse and security systems.
- Protection of shipment, customer, route, inventory and access data where relevant.
- Backup, recovery and availability requirements for security-critical technology.
- Incident coordination between physical security, IT and information-security teams.
- Security requirements for technology vendors and remote support providers.
Security Incident Management and Investigation
A mature security system records and learns from incidents rather than treating each event in isolation. Qdot can establish a consistent incident process covering detection, immediate response, escalation, communication, investigation, root-cause analysis, corrective action and management review.
- Defined incident categories and severity levels.
- 24/7 or after-hours escalation routes where required by risk.
- Protection of evidence and incident records.
- Internal and external communication responsibilities.
- Root-cause and contributing-factor analysis.
- Corrective and preventive improvement actions.
- Trend analysis for theft, loss, tampering, access breaches and recurring weaknesses.
- Lessons learned shared across sites and relevant suppliers.
Preparedness, Business Continuity and Recovery
Security events can become operational disruptions. ISO 28000 implementation should therefore define how security incidents interact with emergency response, crisis management and business continuity. Where ISO 22301 or other continuity arrangements already exist, Qdot aligns responsibilities, notification and recovery processes rather than creating duplicate systems.
Security Objectives, KPIs and Management Reporting
Security performance should be measurable enough for management to identify deteriorating controls, repeat incidents and resource needs. KPIs should be selected according to risk and should not encourage superficial compliance.
- Security incidents by type, severity and location.
- Access-control violations and repeated unauthorized-entry attempts.
- Cargo loss, shortage, tampering or damage incidents where security-related.
- Overdue security risk-treatment actions.
- Supplier or contractor security nonconformities.
- Training and competence completion for security-critical roles.
- Internal audit findings and corrective-action closure.
- Security inspection defects and closure ageing.
- System availability or alarm response metrics where relevant.
- Progress against security objectives and improvement programmes.
Documented Information for ISO 28000
The amount of documentation should match the organization’s size, complexity and risk. Qdot focuses on documents that clarify responsibilities, control high-risk activities and provide useful evidence.
- Security management system scope and security policy.
- Context, interested-party and applicable-requirement records.
- Security risk methodology, risk register and treatment plans.
- Roles, responsibilities and authorization matrices.
- Operational security procedures and site-specific instructions.
- Supplier, contractor and logistics-provider security requirements.
- Training, competence and awareness records.
- Incident, investigation and corrective-action records.
- Monitoring, inspection, KPI and performance records.
- Internal audit programme, audit reports and follow-up evidence.
- Management review records and improvement decisions.
Internal Audit, Management Review and Continual Improvement
Before certification, the system needs evidence that it has been implemented and reviewed. Qdot can train internal auditors, perform independent internal audits, help close findings and structure management review so leadership makes documented decisions on risk, resources, priorities and improvement.
ISO 28000 Certification Process
- 1. Define the intended certification scope, sites, activities and interfaces.

FAQs
ISO 28000 is an international management-system standard specifying requirements for security management, including aspects relevant to the supply chain. It provides a structured approach to security risks, controls, monitoring and continual improvement.
ISO 28000:2022 is the current second edition. ISO 28000:2022/Amd 1:2024 also applies and introduced climate-action changes.
Yes. ISO 28000 contains management-system requirements and can be used for third-party certification by a competent certification body.
No. Qdot provides consultancy, implementation, training, internal audit and certification-readiness support. The certification decision and certificate are issued independently by the certification body.
Review the body’s competence, certification scope, auditor experience, accreditation or recognized certification arrangement, geographic capability and acceptance by your customers or other interested parties.
No. The current standard applies to different types and sizes of organizations. Supply-chain security is important, but the security management system can cover broader organizational activities and risks.
Yes, where the organization implements the requirements within an appropriate scope and can demonstrate effective security management for its facilities, operations and supply-chain interfaces.
Yes. Warehouses and distribution centres are common environments for access control, cargo protection, contractor security, incident management and supply-chain risk controls.
It can. Physical controls should be selected according to risk. The standard provides a management framework rather than prescribing one universal combination of guards, barriers, cameras or access technology.
Security risks linked to information and technology can fall within the system, but ISO 28000 does not replace ISO/IEC 27001 where a dedicated information-security management system is needed.
Security incidents can cause disruption, so ISO 28000 can be integrated with emergency response and ISO 22301 business continuity arrangements. The two standards have different primary purposes.
A structured assessment of security risks and treatment is fundamental to effective implementation. The method should be defined, repeatable and appropriate to the organization’s context.
Yes. External providers can create important security risks, so organizations should define appropriate security requirements, controls, monitoring and incident obligations for relevant suppliers and contractors.
Yes, subject to the relationship between sites, central functions and certification-body rules. Qdot can design common corporate controls with site-specific risk assessments and procedures.
The timeline depends on scope, site count, maturity, risk complexity and the operational changes required. Qdot normally confirms an implementation plan after the initial assessment.
Cost depends on certification scope, employee numbers, sites, audit duration and the selected certification body. Consultancy and certification fees should be quoted separately.
No. Customs programmes, AEO status, port approvals, licences and customer qualification processes are separate unless the responsible authority explicitly recognizes ISO 28000 for a specific purpose.
Yes. The 2022 edition uses the harmonized management-system structure, which supports integrated policies, audits, management reviews, document controls and improvement processes.
Typical evidence includes risk assessments, treatment plans, operational controls, competence records, incident records, monitoring results, internal audits, corrective actions and management review.
Start with an ISO 28000 gap assessment and scope review. This identifies the current maturity, certification boundaries, major security risks, documentation needs and implementation priorities before resources are committed.
