About This Course
The ISO 28000 Lead Auditor programme prepares you to audit a supply chain security management system against ISO 28000. Delivered fully self-paced and online, it takes you from SCSMS fundamentals to planning and leading a complete audit using the principles of ISO 19011 and ISO/IEC 17021-1.
ISO 28000 specifies requirements for a security management system for the supply chain. You’ll learn to gather and weigh evidence, grade nonconformities and report findings that drive improvement — the skills a lead auditor needs for first-, second- and third-party audits.
