Risk-Based Performance Standards is a Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism program overseen by the Department Of Homeland Security
Congress mandated the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to implement the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) that high-risk chemical facilities must meet to comply with the Act.
CFATS establishes eighteen Risk-Based Performance Standards (RBPSs) that identify the areas for which a facility’s security program will be examined. To meet the Risk-Based Performance Standards, covered facilities are free to choose whatever security programs or processes they deem appropriate, so long as they achieve the requisite level of performance in each applicable area. Each of the RBPSs describe the performance level expected of the facilities based on their status (Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3 and Tier 4).
The eighteen Risk-Based Performance Standards are as follows:
Restrict Area
Secure Site Assets
Screen and Control Access
Deter, Detect, and Delay
Shipping, Receipt, and Storage
Theft or Diversion
Sabotage
Cyber
Response
Monitoring
Training
Personnel Surety
Elevated Threats
Specific Threats, Vulnerabilities, or Risks
Reporting of Significant Security Incidents
Significant Security Incidents and Suspicious Activities
