Scope:

This Standard specifies criteria for establishing a security management program for petroleum and natural gas industry systems to ensure security threats and associated risks are identified and managed. This Standard provides mitigation and response processes and procedures to prevent and minimize the impact of security incidents that could adversely affect people, the environment, assets, and economic stability

Project need:

The importance of a safe, secure, and reliable energy supply is widely recognized and any prolonged interruption in the supply of energy, such as petroleum or natural gas, would adversely impact people, the environment, assets, and economic stability. Because energy infrastructure assets and systems are geographically dispersed and the operation of the infrastructure is typically managed by several different operating companies using a variety of delivery mechanisms, protecting the energy supply presents a unique challenge. In order to help petroleum and natural gas companies evaluate and respond appropriately to security threats, CSA Group has worked with security professionals to prepare this Standard
