How Safeguard covers ISO 28000

  • Scan requirements: 6, all decided by a scan.
  • Controls: the scan requirements below, plus 12 controls from Safeguard's control catalog for ISO 28000.
  • Automated tests: none map to it directly. You can link any automated test to its controls yourself (how).
  • Policy templates: 25: 3 written for ISO 28000 and 22 from the standard set.

How each kind of coverage works, and what the readiness score counts: Compliance frameworks.

What a scan checks

Each scan of a product checks these 6 requirements against what the scan found, including the product's software inventory (SBOM).

RequirementWhat Safeguard checksDecided by
ISO28000-4 Context and Supply Chain ScopeThe organisation must determine the scope of the security management system including its supply chain context, which for software means the system under review is named and its contents enumerated (ISO 28000:2022 clause 4, context of the organization)Scan
ISO28000-6 Security Risk Assessment PlanningPlanning requires assessing security risks and opportunities across the supply chain, which is only possible when components are unambiguously identifiable for threat matching (ISO 28000:2022 clause 6, planning and security risk assessment)Scan
ISO28000-7.5 Documented InformationThe management system must maintain controlled documented information, which for software supply chains means identifiable, timestamped bills of materials (ISO 28000:2022 clause 7.5, documented information)Scan
ISO28000-8 Operational Security ControlsOperational planning and control must implement the security measures identified, including protecting goods and artifacts in the chain against tampering, evidenced by cryptographic hashes on software components (ISO 28000:2022 clause 8, operation)Scan
ISO28000-SUP Upstream Supplier VisibilityManaging supply chain security requires knowing the parties upstream in the chain, which for software means a named supplier for each component (ISO 28000:2022 supply chain security management requirements)Scan
ISO28000-DEP Chain Relationship MappingSecurity management across the supply chain presumes understanding how elements of the chain depend on one another, which for software means documented dependency relationships (ISO 28000:2022 supply chain context and interdependency considerations)Scan

More controls in the catalog
