The New Global Standard for Asset Protection
Without a standard, a security professional is forced to rely on subjective opinion instead of a trusted model for evaluation, leaving them unable to define a recognized level of quality or embed security into the organizational culture as an accepted, everyday practice.
The Industrial Asset Protection Association Standard is your out-of-the-box solution, providing the complete framework, strategic plan, and integrated training needed to secure your industrial assets.
Move beyond reactive incident response to proactive risk mitigation.
Safeguard both your physical and digital assets seamlessly.
Transform security from one department’s job into a shared, organization-wide responsibility.

The protection of critical industrial assets faces a significant challenge: existing security standards are often too generic, complex, and costly, leaving organizations with inconsistent protection and exploitable vulnerabilities.

Our solution is the IAPA Standard (IAPS), the first framework developed specifically for the industrial sector. As a not-for-profit, our mission is to provide an accessible and cost-effective standard that embeds security into your organizational culture , fostering shared responsibility and building genuine resilience against modern threats.
