The real ISO 18788:2015 documentation and training package: 122 documents that build a complete security operations management system (SOMS) for a private security company. The manual meets every clause of ISO 18788:2015, and you get 12 annexures and policies, 26 procedures including use of force, screening and vetting, weapons management and incident management, 8 exhibits and 48 forms and formats, plus a full training module of slide decks, literature and case studies, all editable in Word and Excel, so a security provider can operate lawfully, respect human rights and reach certification.
Preparing the documentation is the slowest and most confusing part of getting certified to ISO 18788:2015. You have to work out what the standard asks for, decide what to write, and turn it into a manual, procedures and records that an auditor will accept. Done from a blank page it takes months, and paying a consultant to do it can cost thousands.
The ISO 18788:2015 Documentation Toolkit gives you that whole system, already written and ready to edit. It is built by practitioners around the exact structure of the standard, so nothing an auditor expects is missing. You add your company details, adapt anything specific to your operation, and you have a complete, consistent private security operations system that is ready for audit. Every single document you receive is listed and explained further down this page, so you know precisely what you are buying before you spend anything.
A dedicated use of force procedure sets out de-escalation, and reasonable, necessary and proportional force with accountability, which is the defining requirement of ISO 18788 and the first thing an assessor checks.
A human rights policy, the International Code of Conduct for Private Security Service Providers (ICoC) annexure and a business ethics and anti-bribery policy, so respect for human rights is built into the system, not bolted on.
Procedures and forms for the selection, background screening and vetting of personnel and subcontractors, and for the procurement and management of weapons, hazardous materials and munitions, including arms licence applications.
Procedures for incident management and for incident monitoring, reporting and investigation, with security incident report and investigation forms, so events are handled and evidenced properly.
This is a documentation and training package. It ships four training decks, literature chapters and blank and filled workshops and case studies, so you can train your team on ISO 18788 as well as document the system.
A clause-wise audit checklist, an ISO 18788:2015 compliance matrix and a risk analysis workbook, so you can self-assess readiness before the certification audit.
Each tier answers a different question and is approved at a different level, and every requirement is owned in exactly one place.
No hidden contents and no vague claims. Here is the complete document set, with a short description of what each file is for and the clause it helps you meet.
