Per the PSRDM 1.8, Requirements for Subject Matter Specialists In order to meet the physical security and resiliency requirements of this manual, as appropriate to the scope of the project, the design team must include: (1) a certified physical security specialist with an emphasis on risk and vulnerability assessments, physical security design and CPTED, and anti-terrorism force protection. Additionally the results of this risk assessment will then be used as the campus security master plan, per PSRDM 2.2, thus enabling the VA Station to seek funding (via SCIP, etc.) per the DUSHOM 28 July 2015 Directive regarding implementation. a. Project Scope and Objectives: The project objectives of the VA are but not limited to as follows: Preparing a risk assessment is to identify the assets and people that need to be protected. Threat/hazard analysis is performed to identify and define the threats and hazards that could cause harm to a building and its occupants. Threats and hazards must be measured against the overall facility and each Critical function and system it contains or supports. Assets are identified, a vulnerability analysis is performed to identify weaknesses. Consequences to the mission that would result from a hazard event or a successfully executed threat are defined. Using the results of the asset s threat/hazard, vulnerability, and consequences analyses, risk is determined. See Chapter 2 Direction on Using the Physical Security and Resiliency Design Manual for additional information. Conduct site visits after award in order. Generate a threat assessment report to points of contact at the facility no later than July 1, 2024. Desired attributes 5 Years experience and documented past performance generating threat assessment reports and security inspections for VA Campuses See flow chart below for Deviation/Equivalency Process by Project Specific Risk Assessment.
