This afternoon the DHS Infrastructure Security Compliance
Division (ISCD) published a fact
sheet about their new Infrastructure Protection (IP) Gateway. A link to the
IP Gateway was published on the CFATS
Knowledge Center. The IP Gateway provides DHS with a method of sharing data
about CFATS facilities with Federal, State, local, territorial, and tribal
(SLTT) agencies as well as State and local fusion centers.
ISCD will provide information to the IP Gateway in two
levels of data control; For Official Use Only (FOUO) data and
Chemical-Terrorism Vulnerability Information (CVI) data. The FOUO data would
include name, location, and geospatial information. This information would be
available to all personnel given access to the IP Gateway.
The CVI data would include more protected information about
chemical facilities; including Chemicals of Interest (COI), facility tiering
information and facility security information. This information would only be
accessible to those with a certified need to know. Access would be provided by
ISCD Regional Directors, but only to personnel that have completed CVI training.
The IP Gateway is a new DHS product. It is initially being
rolled out in Regions 1 and 5 (same as the EPA Regions).
As additional regions are ramped up announcements will be made.
