RED IPSA
Industry Personnel Security Assurance (IPSA) is an assurance framework for personnel security in industry. It helps to ensure individuals who have National Security Vetting (NSV) are effectively managed and provided with the same degree of aftercare as vetted staff. The process is managed by the Industry Security Assurance Centre (ISAC).
It is to ensure that Sponsor companies effectively manage personnel security, in particular how aftercare is provided for those staff who require NSV. Aftercare is more than the completion of annual forms, it is the culmination of a number of activities that provide the necessary support for vetted individuals. It covers the screening required pre-vetting, ongoing monitoring and assessment, disciplinary and welfare procedures, risk assessment and cultivating a positive security culture across the company and it’s network. ISAC does this through assessing Sponsor companies’ policies and processes meet required standards contained in the IPSA Policy.
