The Universal Security Audit Programme Continuous Monitoring Approach (USAP-CMA) and its Objective

 

419049.jpgThe objective of the USAP-CMA is to promote global aviation security through continuous monitoring, and auditing of Member States’ aviation security performance, in order to enhance their aviation security compliance and oversight capabilities, by:

  • regularly and continuously obtaining and analysing data on Member States’ aviation security performance, including the level of implementation of the critical elements of an aviation security oversight system and the degree of compliance of with Standards of Annex 17 — Aviation Security and the relevant security-related Standards of Annex 9 — Facilitation, as well as associated procedures, guidance material and security-related practices;

  • identifying deficiencies in the overall aviation security performance of Member States and assessing the risks associated with such deficiencies;

  • providing prioritized recommendations to assist Member States in addressing identified deficiencies;

  •  evaluating and validating corrective actions taken by Member States; and

  •  re-assessing the overall levels of Member States’ aviation security performance achieved, aimed at continuously enhancing Member States’ aviation security compliance and oversight capabilities.
