Schreiber Represents ISO TC292 and ASIS International in the UK

From September 30th to October 4th, our Founder, Mark Schreiber, had the incredible opportunity to represent ASIS International as a volunteer liaison at the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) gathering in Liverpool, UK. This gathering of industry leaders, policymakers, and security experts was more than just a meeting; it marked an exciting moment in the advancement of international security standards. 

As a member of ISO Technical Committee 292 (ISO TC292), which focuses on security and resilience, Schreiber participated in critical discussions aimed at improving the effectiveness and consistency of security practices worldwide. ISO TC292 also plays an important role in developing and promoting international standards that provide frameworks for organizations to protect their assets and ensure the safety of their employees and communities. 

During the meeting, he also worked with representatives from various countries to share insights and experiences that highlighted the challenges and successes encountered in the field of security. The discussions focused on best practices, emerging threats, and the value of standardized protocols for streamlined crisis responses. It was truly inspiring to see how professionals from various backgrounds came together with a common goal of creating safer environments through strong security frameworks. 

The importance of volunteer roles, such as ours, in fostering collaboration between organizations like ASIS International and ISO TC292, cannot be overstated in our field. Schreiber served as a liaison, bridging the gap between practical security applications and the development of normative standards. This connection is critical because it ensures that the standards developed are not only theoretically sound but also practical in real-world situations.  

As we reflect on this significant gathering, our Safeguards Consulting team is reminded of our commitment to improving global security practices. The insights and connections made during this week-long gathering will help us continue to support our clients, ASIS members, and the larger community in navigating the complexities of our industry's security challenges.  

 In conclusion, Schreiber's attendance at the ISO TC292 meeting in Liverpool exemplifies our commitment to advancing international security standards. We are excited to share our learnings from this exciting experience with our peers and to continue advocating for a safer, more secure world for all.
