Coverage is not the same as your position

This page shows what ICAO Annex 17 - Aviation Security (AVSEC) overlaps with in general. Where your organisation actually stands, against the standard you are going for and the certifications you already hold, is a different question. Same graph and the same recorded refutations, scoped to you rather than to a pair.

What is ICAO Annex 17 - Aviation Security (AVSEC) and who does it apply to?

ICAO Annex 17 - Aviation Security (AVSEC) is a compliance framework from International (ICAO Contracting States, implemented through national civil aviation security programmes) with 4 domains and 116 controls. The ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices that every Contracting State implements through its national civil aviation security programme and cascades to airports, airlines, air navigation service providers and the cargo supply chain: organization and oversight, training and background checks, access control, screening of passengers, staff, baggage, cargo and supplies, aircraft protection, landside and cyber measures, and the response to acts of unlawful interference. Twelfth Edition with Amendment 18, 95 Standards and 21 Recommended Practices, built from the complete text. It is used by organisations to establish and maintain compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.

What does ICAO Annex 17 - Aviation Security (AVSEC) actually require?
