AEO alignment.
Authorised Economic Operator status — Indian Customs, EU, UK, US C-TPAT — substantially overlaps with ISO 28000. Many of our engagements dovetail the two so evidence sets do double duty.
Industry
Logistics — service reliability, security, resilience.
Supply-chain security (ISO 28000), quality (ISO 9001), environmental (ISO 14001), safety (ISO 45001), and continuity (ISO 22301) certifications — calibrated to the procurement filters customers actually apply.

.
Logistics operates at the intersection of customer service reliability, cargo security, regulatory compliance, and — for customs-facilitation programmes like AEO — governmental expectation. The 2022 ISO 28000 revision substantially modernised the supply-chain security standard, and customer tender requirements now routinely list it alongside ISO 9001 for freight forwarders, 3PLs, and warehousing operators.
Cold-chain logistics, pharmaceutical distribution, dangerous-goods handling, and high-value or defence logistics each add further expectations — GDP for pharmaceuticals, DG training and certification, and customer-specific security requirements from OEMs and brand owners. We scope engagements against the actual customer base rather than a generic template.

engagements distinct.
Cargo security vs IT security.
ISO 28000 handles physical cargo security; ISO 27001 handles information security of the systems that track cargo. For operators running TMS, WMS, and customer-portal systems, both matter.
Continuity for single-point-of-failure operations.
Port operators, major warehouses, and cross-dock hubs typically represent single points of failure in customer supply chains. ISO 22301 is increasingly requested by contract.
Environmental reporting.
Scope 3 emissions reporting pressure on shippers is translating into ISO 14001 and GHG inventory expectations of logistics providers, often contractually.

Scope is organisational choice, provided it is coherent. Most logistics operators certify head office plus sampled operating locations, with certification covering the operator's own operations and its controls over sub-contracted services.
For pharmaceutical and healthcare logistics, yes — Good Distribution Practice is the baseline expectation, typically certified by a recognised body. ISO 28000 and GDP complement rather than overlap.
ISO 28000 covers security management; ISO 9001 covers quality management. They are complementary. Most logistics operators pursue both, usually as an integrated management system.
