Book excerpt: "The federal government's reliance on leased space underscores the need to physically secure this space and help safeguard employees, visitors, and government assets. In April 2010 the Interagency Security Committee (ISC), comprised of 47 federal agencies and departments and chaired by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), issued Physical Security Criteria for Federal Facilities (the 2010 standards) which supersede previous ISC standards. In response to Congress' direction to review ISC standards for leased space, this report (1) identifies challenges that exist in protecting leased space and (2) examines how the 2010 standards address these challenges.To conduct this work, GAO analyzed agency documents and interviewed federal officials from ISC, four federal departments selected as case studies based on their large square footage of leased space, and the Federal Protective Service (FPS). GAO also consulted prior work on federal real property and physical security, including key practices in facility protection."

The Interagency Security Committee (ISC), chaired by DHS, consists of 53 Federal departments and agencies, has as its mission the development of security standards and best practices for nonmilitary Federal facilities in the United States. As Chair of the ISC, I am pleased to introduce the new ISC document titled The Risk Management Process: An Interagency Security Committee Standard (Standard). This ISC Standard defines the criteria and processes that those responsible for the security of a facility should use to determine its facility security level and provides an integrated, single source of physical security countermeasures for all nonmilitary Federal facilities. The Standard also provides guidance for customization of the countermeasures for Federal facilities.

Book excerpt: The Federal Government owns or leases 3.4 billion square feet of space in 491,465 buildings which may be vulnerable to acts of terrorism and other forms of violence. The Interagency Security Committee (ISC) was created by Executive Order 12977 in 1995, following the domestic terrorist bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, OK, to address the quality and effectiveness of physical security requirements for federal facilities. The September 2001 terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center renewed concerns about the vulnerability of federal buildings to bombing or other forms of attack. On February 28, 2003, the chairmanship of the ISC was transferred to the Secretary of Homeland Security from the Administrator of General Services by Executive Order 13286. In July 2004, based on Homeland Security Presidential Directive/HSPD-7, the ISC began reviewing federal agencies' physical security plans to better protect the nation's critical infrastructure and key resources. The ISC issued its updated Security Design Criteria on September 29, 2004, which set forth enhanced physical security requirements for the construction of new federal buildings as well as for major renovations of existing buildings. This report will be updated to reflect any policy changes in security standards for federal facilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 2004 federal directive and the related standard set forth a vision for using information technology to verify the identity of individuals accessing federal buildings. The vision calls for secure and reliable forms of identification that work in conjunction with access control systems. Interoperability of these systems across departments and agencies is part of the vision. OMB and GSA have government-wide responsibilities related to this effort. ISC provides guidance to non-military executive branch agencies on physical security issues. This report discusses (1) steps OMB and GSA have taken to fulfill their government-wide responsibilities related to PACS and (2) challenges selected federal agencies face in meeting current requirements. GAO recommends (1) that OMB determine and regularly monitor a baseline level of progress on PACS implementation and (2) that ISC assess the extent of, and develop strategies to address, government-wide challenges to implementing PACS.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Interagency Security Committee (ISC) originated by Executive Order 12977 after the Oklahoma City bombing of the Alfred Murrah Federal Building in 1995.The day after the attack, the President ordered an assessment of vulnerability of Federal facilities to terrorism or violence. The Vulnerability Report developed minimum physical security standards for civilian federally owned or leased facilities. Protecting employees and private citizens who visit U.S. government-owned or leased facilities from all hazards is a complex and challenging responsibility. It is one of the top national priorities and the mission of the ISC. In keeping with the authority provided in Section 5 of Executive Order 12977 and amended by Executive Order 13286, this document provides ISC policy, which requires Federal departments and agencies to use performance measurement and testing to assess physical security programs. This document outlines recommended guidance to Federal departments and agencies for implementing this policy. The guidance provides a basic performance model that measures inputs and accomplishments. It identifies the performance measurement cycle processes and provides examples of performance metrics for physical security. The ISC recognizes Federal departments and agencies will implement this policy and guidance in a manner reflecting the unique and varied mission requirements of their respective components.
