Introduction:

ISO 18788 represents a structured framework for managing security operations in a manner that ensures respect for human rights, legal compliance, and risk based protection of people and assets. It establishes a Security Operations Management System that integrates governance, risk assessment, and operational control within complex security environments. This training program presents the foundational frameworks, principles, and structural components of a Security Operations Management System based on ISO 18788. It outlines system requirements, governance structures, and process models that organize security operations within institutional environments.
