ASIS International (ASIS)
As the preeminent organization for security professionals worldwide, ASIS has an important role to play in helping the private sector secure its business and critical infrastructure, whether from natural disaster, accidents or planned actions, such as terrorist attacks, vandalism, etc. ASIS had previously chosen not to promulgate guidelines and standards, but world events have brought to the forefront the need for a professional security organization to spearhead an initiative to create security advisory provisions. By addressing specific concerns and issues inherent to the security industry, security guidelines and standards will better serve the needs of security professionals by increasing the effectiveness and productivity of security practices and solutions, as well as enhancing the professionalism of the industry.

(Institute of Radio Engineers), date to 1884. From its earliest origins, the IEEE has advanced the
theory and application of electro technology and allied sciences, served as a catalyst for technological
innovation and supported the needs of its members through a wide variety of programs and service.
Interagency Security Committee (ISC)
Homeland Security - Interagency Security Committee: Standards and Best Practices. Homeland Security - Interagency Security Committee: Standards and Best Practices. On October 19, 1995, six months after the Oklahoma City bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, President Clinton issued Executive Order 12977, creating the Interagency Security Committee (ISC) to address continuing government-wide security for federal facilities. Prior to 1995, minimum physical security standards did not exist for nonmilitary federally owned or leased facilities. The ISC’s mandate is to enhance the quality and effectiveness of physical security in, and the protection of buildings and civilian federal facilities in the United States. The ISC standards apply to all civilian federal facilities in the United States—whether government-owned, leased or managed; to be constructed or modernized; or to be purchased.
