What is ISO 18788?
Private security operations management per ISO 18788, embedding human-rights obligations and professional conduct into security service operations.
Why is ISO 18788 important for you?
Professionalize private security operations to an international standard. Organizations that conform relentlessly win procurement, pass audits, and keep customers; professionals who carry the recognized credential get the mandate to lead that work. The certification exam closes the loop — you leave with evidence, not just attendance.

- Team members contributing to the management system in scope
- Compliance, risk, or quality officers who need implementation depth
- Private security company managers and clients of security services
What you will learn
- Plan, implement, manage, monitor, and continually improve the management system or control set end to end
- Scope the programme, perform gap and risk analysis, and define policies, objectives, and controls
