Supply Chain Security... Managing the
Risk
The threats surrounding your supply chain, your brand and
your shareholder value are growing - and they are becoming more
complex. The management of security hugely benefits from a
verifiable risk-based management system. Understanding your supply
chain security risks is the first step in turning them into
opportunities. In a world of globalisation, lean supply chains and
outsourcing, managing your supply chain security risks demands a
proactive, integrated approach.
So, imagine a company that's dedicated to assuring your
most valuable assets. A company with global knowledge and local
expertise, one who really understands the risks and opportunities
you're facing, offering you the most highly qualified team of
assessors, auditors and verifiers in the world. That company is
LRQA.
Turning compliance into business
advantage
You may have a requirement to comply with any number of
regulatory or non governmental schemes such as AEO, C-TPAT, ISPS or
TAPA to protect your visible assets and ease the flow of goods; but
what about your invisible assets, like your corporate reputation or
your shareholder value? Security incidents can cause significant
disruption to your supply chain and your financial health. And by
not meeting customer demand you could damage your brand
reputation.
With today's global media, bad news can travel fast - a
brand's reputation can take years to build and one mistake to
destroy.
Our supply chain security services are underpinned by the
confidence of your organisation having a robust security management
system in place. This system may be based around the international
management system
standards
ISO:28000 (Supply Chain Security)
and
ISO:27001 (Information Security) if appropriate to your
organisations needs.
However the range of services LRQA offers also allows us to go
beyond this…
