CISA Fact Sheet: Physical Security Considerations for Temporary Facilities

The Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) developed the Physical Security Considerations for Temporary Facilities fact sheet to provide security recommendations to the operators of temporary facilities – those that are established for set timeframes for hosting a venue.

The fact sheet walks through determining if a security plan is in place for the facility, if current protective measures provide the necessary security for the event, and the importance of conducting a vulnerability assessment to identify and prioritize areas of concern that need to be addressed. It highlights the importance of developing an emergency action plan and coordinating/exercising the plan with local law enforcement and first responders as they may not be familiar with the event, the facility, and its current temporary use/purpose. It also provides cost-effective protective measures to mitigate identified vulnerabilities and enhance security, and access to resources to support decision-making. Access the fact sheet below.
