The Interagency Security Committee (ISC) originated by Executive Order 12977 after the Oklahoma City bombing of the Alfred Murrah Federal Building in 1995.The day after the attack, the President ordered an assessment of vulnerability of Federal facilities to terrorism or violence. The Vulnerability Report developed minimum physical security standards for civilian federally owned or leased facilities. Protecting employees and private citizens who visit U.S. government-owned or leased facilities from all hazards is a complex and challenging responsibility. It is one of the top national priorities and the mission of the ISC. In keeping with the authority provided in Section 5 of Executive Order 12977 and amended by Executive Order 13286, this document provides ISC policy, which requires Federal departments and agencies to use performance measurement and testing to assess physical security programs. This document outlines recommended guidance to Federal departments and agencies for implementing this policy. The guidance provides a basic performance model that measures inputs and accomplishments. It identifies the performance measurement cycle processes and provides examples of performance metrics for physical security. The ISC recognizes Federal departments and agencies will implement this policy and guidance in a manner reflecting the unique and varied mission requirements of their respective components.
