NASPO INTERNATIONAL Mission Statement

The mission of the NASPO INTERNATIONAL, is to develop national and international fraud countermeasure and control standards and to support those standards through education, auditing, certification and accreditation of certification bodies.

NASPO INTERNATIONAL’S Purpose

The North American Security Products Organization, now NASPO INTERNATIONAL, was founded in 2002 by companies and individuals in the security products industry that recognized the need for the control of secure products and technologies. To provide a recognized framework, the organization developed an authoritative set of standards and auditing practices focused on the principle of control using the concept of risk management.
As the only North American authority, NASPO INTERNATIONAL enables security products firms to classify and validate their ability to deliver either high, medium or basic levels of security assurance throughout their operations.
NASPO INTERNATIONAL designs standards to help certified organizations identify and define risks for the fraudulent acquisition, circumvention, mimicry or subversion of their security products or information.
The end user’s choice of a NASPO INTERNATIONAL certified supplier enhances the security value of the products and materials supplied.  This is achieved through the control and restriction to access of critical security technologies and information.

NASPO MEMBERSHIP IS AVAILABLE TO:
Producers		Suppliers		Brand Owners		Security Consultants
Producers who supply secure products must understand the inherent responsibilities to their customers and to the public. Those who fail to safeguard the manufacturing environment are a threat to the credibility of the entire security products industry. For this reason, NASPO differentiates between “uncertified product providers” and “Certified Security Product Producers.”		Suppliers have a responsiblilty to insure that the raw materials utilized in a secure production facility are carefully distributed through authorized and accountable methods. Failures in safeguarding the supply chain can result in increases in counterfeit products that are potentially costly and dangerous. NASPO certifies suppliers and their operations to mitigate these risks.		Brand protection is one of the most difficult challenges in our modern society. By some estimates over 15% of the branded products sold worldwide are counterfeits. NASPO provides a means to protect brand owners by certification of the chains of possession, before products are manufactured, through the chains of distribution after the products leave the factory floor.		As NASPO grows, there is an increasing need for qualified individuals who can help advise and consult with Producers, Suppliers, and Brand Owners regarding risk mitigation and supply chain security. Consultancy membership is ideal for those individuals with a background in security document manufacturing, law enforcement, and/or auditing and accounting.
