Chemical Security
ChemLock wordmark. Know your chemicals. Lock in your security posture.

More than 96% of all manufactured goods depend on chemicals in some way. These chemicals are used, manufactured, stored, and transported across global supply chains, forming the bedrock of industries that touch nearly every aspect of American life—from microchips to food processing. In the wrong hands, many of the chemicals that businesses interact with every day could be used as weapons.

Whether you work for a small business or an international company, everyone who interacts with these types of chemicals has a role to play in understanding the risk and taking collective action to prevent chemicals from being weaponized by terrorists. CISA's ChemLock program is a completely voluntary program that provides facilities that possess dangerous chemicals with no-cost services and tools to help you better understand the risks you face and improve your chemical security posture in a way that works for your business model.
