Draft awaiting owner review — not for publication until approved. Every fact about the company is taken from existing pages on this site.
01
Start with the licence
Ask for the provider’s Federal Ministry of Interior licence number, the law it was issued under and a copy for your file. If the work is in the Kurdistan Region, ask how the provider operates there.
How Diri Al-Nassir answers
Diri Al-Nassir holds Security Work Licence No. 206, issued by the Federal Ministry of Interior under Private Security Companies Law No. 52 of 2017; a copy is available on request. In the Kurdistan Region we operate with a KRG-licensed guarding partner, as approved by the KRG Ministry of Interior.
02
Check certificates, scope and expiry
A certificate only helps if its scope covers the service you are buying and it is still valid. Ask for:
- The standard and the certification body
- The certificate number and expiry date
- The certified scope, in the certificate’s own words
- How to verify it with the certification body
How Diri Al-Nassir answers
Our ISO 18788, ANSI/ASIS PSC.1 and ISO 9001 certificates are issued by MSS Global Ltd (UK), certificate no. SMS/012026/001, valid until 6 January 2029. The scope is the design, oversight and provision of risk management and armed static and mobile security services in Iraq. They can be validated with MSS Global at info@mssglobal.com. Our ICoCA certification runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029 and can be checked on the ICoCA website.
03
Ask how force and human rights are governed
A written policy is not enough on its own; what matters is that it reaches the guard at the gate. Ask:
- Which human-rights framework the provider follows, such as the Voluntary Principles (VPSHR)
- What the use-of-force rules say, and who is trained on them
- How the provider works alongside public security forces
- How incidents involving force are reported and investigated
How Diri Al-Nassir answers
Our Use of Force procedures require any force to be lawful, necessary and proportionate, with de-escalation and non-lethal means first; every incident is reported, investigated and documented. Our VPSHR Policy, Human Rights Policy and Human Rights Impact Assessment process govern how we plan, and we follow defined protocols when working alongside Iraqi public security forces.
04
Ask who will actually be on site
- How personnel are selected and vetted
- What training happens before deployment, and what continues after it
- How the same standard is applied to any subcontractor or partner
How Diri Al-Nassir answers
Recruitment follows our Selection & Vetting Policy and our Equal Opportunity & Anti-Discrimination Policy. Personnel must be medically fit and hold a valid police conduct certificate, then complete induction training followed by regular refresher training. Subcontractors are held to the same standard, and we maintain a Combating Trafficking in Persons (CTIP) Plan.
05
Ask how you will be kept informed
- How often you will receive reports, and what they will contain
- How incidents are escalated to you
- Whether there is a public grievance channel that people outside the company can use
- Whether references from other clients are available
How Diri Al-Nassir answers
We provide daily, weekly and monthly reporting, with content agreed with each client. Incidents are logged, escalated and reported promptly, followed by root-cause analysis and corrective action in line with ISO 18788. Anyone can raise a concern through our public grievance mechanism, anonymously if they wish. References from current and previous clients can be provided on request, subject to the client’s consent.
06
Ask for a proposal built on a risk assessment
A credible price comes after the provider has understood the site or route. Ask whether the proposal is based on a risk assessment, and whether it sets out manning, equipment, mobilisation and reporting.
How Diri Al-Nassir answers
We discuss the scope with you, carry out a risk assessment (including a site visit where required) and submit a proposal setting out manning, equipment, mobilisation and reporting. Mobilisation time depends on the scope and is agreed in the proposal. Our one-page Statement of Conformance gathers the licence, certificates, scope and verification routes for procurement files.
