ISO 18788
ISO 18788 Certification in Kenya
The international standard for private security operations — accountability, human rights, and professional governance built into your management system.
A What it is
ISO 18788 defines requirements for a management system that enables private security companies to operate with accountability, respect human rights and international humanitarian law, and demonstrate professional governance to clients and regulators. It covers policy, risk management, operational planning, incident management, and continual improvement — giving security firms a recognised framework that sets them apart in competitive tendering.
B Who needs it
