ISCD Updates 2 FAQ Responses – 9-18-20

 Today the CISA Infrastructure Security Compliance Division (ISCD) updated the responses to two Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on their Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) Knowledge Center. The changes were non-substantive, editorial changes.

The following FAQ responses were revised today:

FAQ #1554 Does the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) have enforcement authority to fine non-compliant facilities, to include shutting down a facility?

FAQ #1557 What should a facility do if it believes the risk-based tier determination that the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has assigned it no longer reflects the actual security risk posed to the facility?
