ISO 18788:2015 is an international standard that establishes a framework for a Security Operations Management System (SOMS), specifically for organizations providing security services. It outlines principles and requirements for managing security operations with a focus on risk management, legal compliance, human rights, and accountability.
Achieving ISO 18788:2015 certification demonstrates that a security service provider operates with professionalism, integrity, and in alignment with international norms, including respect for human rights and national and international law. It supports effective risk-based decision-making and the consistent delivery of quality security services in complex and high-risk environments.
This certification is especially relevant for private security companies, government contractors, and organizations operating in conflict zones or high-threat areas, helping build trust with clients, stakeholders, and regulatory authorities.
