What is ISO 14298 about?
ISO 14298 is an International Standard that specifies a minimum set of security printing management system requirements.
ISO 14298 specifies requirements for a security printing management system for security printers and these requirements are supplementary to requirements for products and processes of an organization and allow for additional specific requirements from the customer.
ISO 14298 shows the adaptation of a process approach which provides interaction between individual processes within the system of processes, as well as over their combination while developing, implementing and improving the effectiveness of a security printing management system.
Note: ISO 14298 does not prescribe how a specific organization implements elements of a security printing management system.
Who is ISO 14298 for?
ISO 14298 on security printing management system applies to:
- Manufacturers of printers
- Printing press
- Developers of security printing management system
Why should you use ISO 14298 ?
In an organization, security printing management practices lack guarantees that effective security controls can be maintained to protect the interest of the customer as well as the general public. Using ISO 14298, the organization can establish, document, implement and maintain an effective security printing management system.
When implemented in compliance with ISO 14298, the security printing management system:
- Achieves the security of products, processes, means of production, premises, information, raw material supplies
- Is used to continue to meet demonstrably the requirements, and naturally, the needs of customers
- Affords management the confidence that the targeted degree of security is actually achieved and remains effective
- Affords the customers the confidence that the agreed nature and degree of security is or will be attained
Overall, to achieve these objective, ISO 14298 can help you take measures to mitigate all the security threats determined by an organizational risk assessment. Such controls focus upon reducing, eliminating and preventing acts that compromise the security printing management system of the organization.
