SECURITY Every business faces unique security issues related to its industry, and new laws and regulations are rapidly changing the manner by which companies are required to address various threats, whether from terrorists, criminal activities, or disgruntled or discharged employees. Our firm is experienced in matters relating to pipeline security, chemical and petroleum facility security, food production facility security, and other general business security issues. Areas of counsel encompass topics such as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), access and physical control, cyber security measures, and various Department of Homeland Security programs including the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards, transportation worker identification credentialing and critical infrastructure protection programs. Our attorneys work closely with clients to develop programs to achieve compliance with security regulations and to address allegations of noncompliance. We help conduct security evaluations in a manner that avoids the creation of legal exposures, then develop facility security plans and assist in the performance of security audits in compliance with regulations promulgated by federal and state agencies. |
