ISO 23234 aims to provide requirements and recommendations for companies to effectively design security measures to safeguard their built environment (e.g., buildings, plants, infrastructure, and property) against unwanted purposeful activities.
ISO 23234 describes which processes and routines must be followed at various phases of construction or civil engineering project, as well as the skills required to reach a successful outcome.
