ISO 18788 Lead Auditor Training

Course Description

ISO 18788 Lead Auditor Training develops practical capability to lead audits of security operations management systems using ISO 18788 requirements, human-rights considerations, operational evidence, and corrective action. The learning path begins with planning audits for iso 18788 requirements, audit principles, programme, scope, and criteria and examining risk, legal duties, human rights, conduct, planning, and evidence, connecting requirements and principles with governance, evidence, stakeholder decisions, and measurable outcomes.

Applied work is framed around a private security service provider operating personnel, subcontractors, equipment, sensitive sites, and high-risk assignments. Learners then progress through evaluating personnel, suppliers, equipment, incidents, operations, and findings and reporting on reporting, closing meeting, corrective action, follow-up, and certification, producing security operations audit programme, security operations audit working papers, security service evidence and finding matrix, and ISO 18788 audit report and follow-up record.

By completion, participants can interpret the subject, perform the relevant workflows, evaluate evidence, communicate supported conclusions, and hand over actions with clear ownership, monitoring, and follow-up.
