DHS Site Assistance, Infrastructure Survey, and Vulnerability Assessments

Developer/Partners: DHS (2022)

Relevant Hazard/Threat(s): All hazards

Intent: Assist CISA and its partners—federal, state, tribal, territorial governments and private industry—in better understanding and managing risk to critical infrastructure through conducting voluntary, specialized security and resilience assessments on the Nation's critical infrastructure.

The assessments examine infrastructure vulnerabilities, interdependencies, capability gaps, and the consequences of their disruption. Vulnerability assessments, combined with infrastructure planning resources developed through the Infrastructure Development and Recovery program, forms an integrated planning and assessment capability. This suite of capabilities, methods, and tools support the efficient and effective use of resources to enhance critical infrastructure resilience to all hazards.

Inputs: 
Outputs: CISA maintains several infrastructure assessments to address different scales of infrastructure (e.g., individual assets, systems, regional networks) and facets of security and resilience: Security Assessment at First Entry, Infrastructure Survey Tool, Infrastructure Visualization Platform, Regional Resiliency Assessment Program.

CISA can perform assessments upon request
