The Chemical Security Assessment Tool (CSAT) was developed to help the Department identify facilities that meet the criteria for high-risk chemical facilities. CSAT also provides the methodologies these facilities need to conduct a Top-Screen and a Security Vulnerability Assessment (SVA), and develop a Site Security Plan (SSP).
CSAT is a secure web-based system. The CSAT tool can be accessed only by Chemical-terrorism Vulnerability Information (CVI) certified individuals.
