Meeting the requirements for drinking water utilities is nothing new to BPS. Our experienced team can evaluate community water systems of all sizes and provide Risk and Resiliency Assessments and Emergency Response Plans to ensure you comply with AWIA rules.
Vulnerability Assessment
We have conducted security vulnerability and risk assessments for community drinking water organizations from coast to coast large, medium and small.
Emergency Response Plan
BPS helps to ensure your Emergency Response Plan has provisions for an all hazards approach, appropriate scope for hazards and to ensure that your plan includes best practice responses.
Cyber Security Threats and Resiliency
AWIA requires financial systems such as billing systems to be assessed for cyber security threats and resiliency. We utilize assessment methodologies such as ISA/IEC 62443 for cyber threat and risk identification. BPS delivers a strong team of IT security professionals credentialed as ISACA Certified Information Systems Auditor, CISSP, and CSX Cybersecurity Fundamentals certification issued by ISACA.
Steven’s competency and partnership has been amazing. He’s provided both a technical expertise and real-world perspective that is invaluable.
Joshua A., AffinivaxI was very pleased with how BPS developed a “turn-key” process for Abbott to comply with the IA rule. What I mean is BPS developed a regulatory compliant methodology to conduct the VA’s; apply the VA’s to the FDP’s and; provide the subject matter expertise to carry out the VA’s and develop the plans themselves. In addition, BPS remained and continues to remain a partner that Abbott can reach out to for advice, guidance and additional project support when needed. The partnership developed between BPS and Abbott has been good for our business.
Robert A., Abbott NutritionWe truly value the role BPS plays in our access control master plan and we continue to have them consulting for us on cutting edge physical security improvements such as the current project underway to supplement the turnstile project with enhanced weapons screening.
Mark Manthei, Security Systems Administrator Froedtert HospitalBPS has helped to build the necessary competencies in the pipeline terminal personnel who are not security professionals, yet still need to be key players in our day-to-day security program. BPS developed effective training programs that we could deploy across our national learning management system for cost effective delivery. Your team has helped us to stand up a sustainable security program that continuously improves year after year based upon the way it has been built and the training you have provided for our organization.
