The team is armed with emerging defensive security technology, specifically designed to counter the sophisticated terrorist threats facing our nations critical infrastructure.
CFATS Poses Steep Challenges Under Tight Deadlines:
Developed and enforced by the Department of Homeland Security, the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) identify, assess, and ensure the effective security of high-risk chemical facilities.
Is your facility classified as "high-risk?" As of November 20, 2007 DHS identified the Chemicals Of Interest, or COI, and their corresponding Screening Threshold Quantity (STQ). Any chemical facility possessing a COI in quantities that meet or exceed the STQ must complete and submit a preliminary screening assessment, referred to as a Top-Screen, by January 22, 2008. Now, the 7000+ facilities meeting this classification must work to meet the deadlines.
The Homeland Defense Division is Ready:
Infrastruct Security, Inc. is the leading provider of comprehensive security services and systems to private critical infrastructure facilities in the United States. The establishment of CFATS was the catalyst for the creation of Infrastructs Homeland Defense Division. Infrastructs business platform is predicated on the security industry becoming one of the most regulated industries in the country. The Homeland Defense Division is focused on the unique needs of chemical facilities.
Infrastructs Homeland Defense Division provides complete readiness for inspections and audits. They provide step by step support to critical infrastructure facilities from Facility Hazard Classifications, to Security Vulnerability Assessments the (SVAs), site security plan designs, and full system deployment.
"Our approach is unique -- were helping facilities from start to finish, taking on the responsibility of assisting them through the process from SVA, plan and engineering to full system deployment and infrastructure implementation", says Kornegay.
