Internationally, airport security programs are governed by rules issued by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), by the international Conventions and their Annex 17, and the ICAO Doc 8973 – security manual. On the national level, the designated aviation security regulator is responsible to transform the Annex 17 requirements onto the National Civil Aviation Security Program (NCASP) which governs the whole civil aviation entities in the country (airports and air carriers). Vanguard Global will work to ensure that the Airport satisfies these standards.

Annex 17 and the ICAO Security Manual (Doc 8973) is a comprehensive set of measures to enhance the security of airports, aircrafts and their users, developed in response to the perceived threats to the civil aviation industry.

In essence, the ICAO Security Manual (Doc 8973) takes the approach that ensuring the security of civil aviation is a risk management activity. The Security Manual also stipulates that to determine what security measures are appropriate, an assessment of the risks must be made in each particular case.

ANUBIS‘s approach to compliance is based on working knowledge of the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO’s) different conventions and their Annex 17 and subsequent ICAO Doc 8973 Security Manual along with a clear understanding of related aviation security requirements.
