ISO/IEC 27005 is a guidance standard for systematic information security risk management. It outlines process steps: define risk context, identify risks in IT systems and processes, assess them, design mitigation measures, implement, and monitor effectiveness. For logistics and transport companies, this approach is essential—they handle supply-chain data, electronic customs documents, and customer information. ISO/IEC 27005 mandates including third-party providers and suppliers in risk analysis; anyone processing or maintaining transport IT systems is evaluated as a potential risk factor. Unlike ISO/IEC 27002 (a control catalogue), ISO/IEC 27005 provides the methodology to determine which controls are actually necessary.
