Security Compliance Programme Inspector

Security Compliance Programme Inspectors report to the Security Compliance - Quality Control Programme Lead

 The Irish NCASP requires the daa Airport Security Manager (ASM) to undertake security compliance monitoring inspections, audits, tests and surveys at both Cork and Dublin Airports and at relevant 3rd Party regulated entities and Known Supplier programmes. This requirement is delegated to the daa Security Compliance Programme Inspection team.

 Compliance Programme Inspector output from the activities undertaken is reported to board level within daa and is formally reported to the Irish Aviation Security Regulator at both quarterly and annual frequencies.

 This output informs the State, via IAA and DOT reporting systems at national aviation security committee level, of the aviation security compliance and testing status for both Dublin and Cork airports.

 The results of this combined activity in turn informs the national aviation security risk profile which is updated annually. This reporting element is specified in the NCASP on covert and on overt testing output and on daa security compliance inspections and audit results.

 In order to meet these requirements daa has appointed a team of suitably qualified and trained Security Compliance programme Inspectors to undertake this activity.

• The role holders carry out the full remit of compliance audits, inspections, tests, reporting output and surveys so that the daa’s NCASP mandated quality control programme is delivered in accordance with both European Union and IAA nationally approved standards and procedures.
