Using CISA’s extensive knowledge of chemical security best practices, CISA chemical security personnel under the ChemLock program can provide on-site assistance and assessments that help facilities identify the specific security risks their on-site chemicals present and offer scalable, tailored suggestions for security measures that will best enhance their security posture based on their unique circumstances and business model.
Three Levels of ChemLock Assistance
CISA’s ChemLock on-site assessments and assistance can help facilities assess the risk of dangerous chemicals at the facility and then develop security plans that address those risks. These services include:
Security Awareness Consultation
CISA experts work with facilities to identify potentially dangerous chemicals and the security risks that those chemicals may pose.
Security Posture Assessment
CISA experts work with facilities to assess their current security posture and identify security enhancements that are tailored to the facility’s unique circumstances and needs.
Security Planning Visit
CISA experts work with facilities to develop or update a security plan based on ChemLock: Secure Your Chemicals that is both appropriate to a facility's specific security concerns and drives actionable, cost-effective security improvements.
