Based on our most recent survey, it was evident that participants are keen to learn about the other participants. As a part of our commitment to making the workshop relevant to your needs, we have taken this feedback into account and have included a brief segment to our programme. During this time, all attendees will have the opportunity to provide a quick self-introduction, including their name, company, and role.

During this session, attendees will receive a comprehensive update regarding the most recent certification statistics, ongoing initiatives, as well as details about the newly introduced Supplier Standard.

Cloud services offer a range of possibilities and prospects for businesses of all types. However, the growing reliance on external providers is introducing fresh security concerns for the security printing industry. In this session, we will delve into recent breaches and occurrences related to cloud services, aiming to provide valuable insights.

In today's interconnected digital landscape, the realm of hacking has evolved into a complex and multifaceted arena that poses significant challenges to individuals and businesses alike. This presentation aims to delve into the world of hacking, exploring its various forms, understanding the risks it presents, and equipping participants with effective strategies to counter these threats.

Internal audits serve as a cornerstone for maintaining the integrity, transparency, and operational efficiency of an organization. These audits are a systematic and objective assessment of an organization's processes, controls, and financial systems, carried out by an independent team within the organization. A well-executed internal audit not only helps in identifying potential risks and areas for improvement but also enhances the overall governance and accountability within the organization. Andrew will shed more light on the efficient conduct of internal audits.

The Hologram Image Register (HIR), created by the IHMA, serves as a protected database for holographic images. Its primary purpose is to uphold hologram copyrights and provide a foundation for incorporating holograms into authentication and security printing. During this session, attendees will delve deeper into the HIR's operational aspects and gain a better understanding of its role.

Risk analysis and treatment is at the heart of all security activities; decreasing risk levels, driving improvements and, when applied within a management system, delivering a strong security culture.  Yet, for many organisations, the risk assessment is a tick-box exercise that is only done because it is a requirement for certification or to win a contract, providing no value and failing to drive necessary change.

During this session we will understand how to identify and analyse threats converting them into risks that we can quantify, prioritise, and address.  We will explore how the context of the organisation, performance and strategy influence the process and how a living risk assessment brings the security management system alive.  The session will include a practical workshop that facilitates a thorough understanding of the subjects covered.

Is your company encountering difficulties in performing on-site supplier audits every three years for non-certified security material suppliers? In this session the Intergraf accredited auditors share best practices on how to select the suppliers in scope of certification, how to make a realistic planning, select the topics that are relevant for the business and the certification, how to conduct an efficient on-site audit and how to assure a valuable follow-up of the audit. To make this workshop more interesting, it shall also focus on integrating other standards in the supplier audit process.

We kindly invite you to actively participate in determining the topic for this part of the programme.

Every certified company, and those undergoing the certification process, will receive an email containing a voting link prior to the event. This link will enable you to decide on the topic for the interactive discussion in Bilbao.
