Do you have a security plan in place to secure your dangerous chemicals? If your facility experienced a cyber or physical attack, would you know what to do?
To help facilities that possess dangerous chemicals develop and implement a tailored security plan that will prevent dangerous chemicals from being exploited, the ChemLock program provides a variety of no-cost services and tools to help these facilities better understand the risks they face and improve their chemical security posture in a way that works for their business model.
Developing a Facility Security Plan
Understanding security principles is valuable, but without a facility security plan that implements specific security measures to meet the security goals, facilities may be unnecessarily exposing themselves to risk. The second part of ChemLock: Secure Your Chemicals provides a draft facility security plan that any facility can use to develop and implement a security plan customized to their unique circumstances and business model. (CISA also published ChemLock: Secure Your Chemicals Template in an editable format that can be easily customized to meet any organization's specifications and needs.)
Not sure where to start? CISA has chemical security experts across the country available to help you develop a facility security plan. To request CISA's chemical security expertise in helping to develop a facility security plan, please fill out the ChemLock Services Request Form linked below.
