ISO 18788 Security Operations Management Risk Testing for Trade
The ISO 18788:2017 standard outlines best practices and requirements for security operations management systems (SOMS) in the context of international trade. This service focuses on conducting rigorous audits, risk assessments, and compliance testing to ensure organizations meet these stringent standards.
Security Operations Management Risk Testing is crucial for companies involved in global trade, particularly those dealing with sensitive or high-value goods, as well as those operating in politically volatile regions. The standard helps mitigate risks associated with supply chain disruptions, unauthorized access, and operational inefficiencies by identifying critical vulnerabilities and implementing effective mitigation strategies.
The testing process begins with a comprehensive review of current security protocols and procedures against the ISO 18788 criteria. This includes evaluating policies, processes, and personnel involved in managing security operations. Once identified, any gaps or non-compliances are documented, followed by recommendations for corrective actions.
Our team employs advanced risk assessment methodologies to prioritize areas requiring immediate attention. These assessments consider various factors such as historical data on security breaches, geographical risks, and regulatory changes. By leveraging this information, we can tailor our testing approach to the specific needs of each client, ensuring that they receive actionable insights rather than generic solutions.
Testing procedures involve simulated attacks or exercises designed to test the robustness of existing defenses. This not only helps identify weaknesses but also provides valuable training opportunities for security personnel. Additionally, we conduct thorough evaluations of physical infrastructure and IT systems using industry-standard tools and methodologies.
The final step in our testing process is generating detailed reports that summarize findings and provide recommendations for improvement. These reports are tailored to meet the specific requirements of each organization, ensuring that they can easily integrate them into their existing documentation.
Our expertise extends beyond mere compliance; we aim to help organizations build resilient security frameworks capable of adapting to evolving threats. By partnering with us, clients gain access to cutting-edge technology and best practices in the field of security operations management.
