We support the set-up of an ISO 14298 Security Printing Management System, and preparation for certification, for the production of security-critical printed products such as banknotes, ID documents, passports, tax stamps and valuable documents.

// Why it matters

Why ISO 14298 Consulting matters

Secure printing is the production of items that must be protected against counterfeiting. A single lost material, information leak or insider threat can have serious consequences. ISO 14298 (Graphic technology – Management of security printing processes) lets you manage the security risks of this production holistically, from the site and personnel to materials and waste, and gives your customers a reference they can trust.

ISO 14298 certificates are issued by independent certification bodies. We provide consulting to build and mature the system and to prepare you for the audit.
// Scope

Frequently asked questions

Do you issue the certificate?

No. ISO 14298 certificates are issued by independent certification bodies. We help build the system and prepare for the audit.

How does it relate to ISO 27001?

ISO 14298 emphasises physical, process and material security in production. It is efficient to cover information security together with ISO 27001; our consulting covers both.

Is it suitable for a small print house?

Scope and risks depend on the nature of production. A gap analysis gives you a realistic roadmap.
