Question 1 of 30
A multinational corporation specializing in the transport of high-value pharmaceuticals is experiencing recurrent issues with product integrity during international transit, specifically concerning potential diversion and tampering. The company operates across several countries with differing regulatory frameworks and security standards. To enhance its supply chain security in alignment with ISO 28001:2007 principles, which of the following strategic approaches would most effectively address these persistent vulnerabilities?
Implementing a comprehensive, multi-layered security protocol that includes enhanced physical security at transfer points, tamper-evident seals with unique identifiers, real-time GPS tracking with geofencing alerts, and rigorous vetting of all third-party logistics providers, coupled with regular risk assessments and security audits throughout the transit process.
Focusing solely on upgrading security measures at the origin and destination points, assuming that intermediate transit phases are adequately covered by existing carrier agreements and general international shipping regulations.
Relying primarily on insurance policies to cover potential losses due to diversion or tampering, thereby shifting the financial risk away from direct security investment and operational control.
Adopting a decentralized security model where each country's logistics partner independently manages security protocols based on their local understanding, without a unified overarching security management system.
