Developed in close collaboration with the International Association of Assembly Managers (IAAM), this tool allows stadium security managers to identify vulnerabilities and assess the overall security of their public assembly facility. Stadium managers are encouraged to integrate this tool into their standard planning process and use it throughout the year.
Modeled after self-assessment tools used by the Transportation Security Administration, the online stadium tool was adapted to incorporate industry safety and security best practices for critical infrastructure to assist in establishing a security baseline for each facility. Once a baseline is established, the tool identifies the strengths of current security programs as well as areas in need of improvement, allowing prioritization of necessary enhancements to the facility's security.
The self-assessment tool focuses on seven key areas that include such topics as information security, physical assets, communication security, and personnel security. The online tool will also be coupled with a help desk to clarify terminology or assist with technical issues while completing the assessment.
