In SAIS-regulated projects, operational readiness is confirmed when the approved design, contractor implementation, testing and commissioning, manpower, procedures, and compliance documentation come together to support the issuance of the Operational Readiness Certificate.

After the Operational Readiness Certificate, SAIS compliance depends on a working Security Organization that keeps approved security measures effective through trained manpower, defined responsibilities, operating procedures, control-room discipline, reporting, and records.

After operational readiness, SAIS compliance must be sustained through inspection, preventive maintenance, accurate records, corrective actions, and periodic review of the approved security measures.

In SAIS-regulated projects, the SAIS-approved Security Contractor is a critical partner in converting the approved security design into compliant implementation and supporting the project’s path toward authority approval and operational readiness.
