International Best Practice Guides

Our Best Practice Guides allow the reader to assess and address various issues and measure their organisational maturity against strong, effective security standards. The appendices include  self-assessment questionnaires and maturity scales to assess whether there are performance gaps that need to be addressed and to consider priorities in addressing these gaps. Taken together, this series represents the handbook of professional competence in the complex and vitally important world of nuclear security.

Performance Evaluation Guidance/Methodologies

WINS has developed several methodology and guidance documents to support both peer reviews and self-assessments. Some focus on specific facility types, such as gamma irradiation facilities or nuclear security and training support centres. Others cover specific aspects of an organisation, such as corporate security assurance and gender equality, diversity and inclusion. They are available to WINS Members in the Knowledge Centre.

Services to the Industry

In nuclear security, very few avenues exist for industry-to-industry peer reviews of security arrangements. Our Benchmarking and Evaluation Services provide an external review of a facility’s nuclear security accomplishments, assessing the level of maturity of an organisation in a particular security area, and offering recommendations for improvements and capacity-building where needed. WINS, with the support of world-class security experts, is available to visit nuclear facilities to conduct a nuclear security evaluation focusing on particular aspects of nuclear security such as nuclear security culture. These services are conducted on a commercial basis. The conduct of these  services is confidential, and the results belong solely to the host organisation.
