The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) encourages facilities with dangerous chemicals to develop and implement a holistic security plan to reduce the risk that dangerous chemicals are exploited. An important aspect of implementing a facility security plan is regular self-assessment.
Below is a self-assessment checklist that a facility can use by itself or in conjunction with a security plan template described in ChemLock: Secure Your Chemicals. Using five security goals, the checklist helps facility personnel identify gaps in security measures so that any vulnerabilities can be addressed. If a security gap is found, the facility can identify steps and develop timelines to resolve those identified gaps.
