ASIS Releases Organizational Resilience Maturity Model American National Standard
New ANSI Standard provides guidance for the phased implementation of the ANSI/ASIS Organizational Resilience Standard. The maturity model helps organizations achieve the benefits of resilience management by "phasing in" a system tied to their specific business needs and economic realities.
ASIS Organizational Resilience Standard receives SAFETY Act Certification
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has awarded ASIS a Safety Act certification for its organizational resilience standard, ANSI/ASIS.SPC.1:2009 Organizational Resilience: Security, Preparedness and Continuity Management Systems - Requirements with Guidance for Use. By designating the ASIS Organizational Resilience Standard a "Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology", the DHS Safety Act provides legal liability protections for providers of products or services using
the standard.
Safety Act Designation
ASIS guidelines have received a Designation award under the Department of Homeland Security, Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technology Act of 2002 (the SAFETY Act). Specifically, the SAFETY Act designation limits ASIS' liability for acts arising out of the use of the guidelines in connection with an act of terrorism and precludes claims of third party damages against organizations using the guidelines as a means to prevent or limit the scope of terrorist acts.
