About This Item
TS ISO 28007-1 is a practical guidance standard for Private Maritime Security Companies (PMSC) that provide Privately Contracted Armed Security Personnel (PCASP) on board ships. It focuses on how ship security services are organized, managed, and documented so that an operator can apply a consistent maritime-security approach within the framework of ISO 28000-based management systems.
What PMSC and PCASP mean in practice
In general technical terms, a PMSC is the company delivering maritime security services, while PCASP are the armed personnel deployed on board the vessel. That distinction matters because the standard is concerned not just with the presence of guards, but with the way the service is controlled, coordinated, and integrated into shipboard operations. Maritime security work differs from land-based guarding because it must account for voyage conditions, vessel routines, interface with the crew, and continuity of operations at sea.
How this part of the standard is used
According to the scope, this part of ISO 28007 provides additional sector-specific recommendations beyond the general guidance already associated with ISO 28000. To claim compliance with these guidelines, all recommendations should be followed. The document also notes that compliance may be demonstrated through first-, second-, or third-party assessment, including certification. When certification is used, the certificate is recommended to state that it has been prepared using the full guidelines of ISO 28007-1 for a Private Maritime Security Company providing Privately Contracted Armed Security Personnel. In other words, this part functions as an organizational and governance framework for this specialised maritime security service.
