BASC MANAGEMENT AND SECURITY CONTROL SYSTEM BOOKLET

At ISCO, we constantly make every effort to ensure security in our processes. For this

reason, we periodically evaluate and control our personnel, resources and information

that may be misused, and we keep traceability and records of all our processes. This

commitment to security is based on the World BASC Organization standards.
