Building on longstanding efforts and redoubling work to support faith-based communities in response to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), released new resources to help houses of worship and other faith-based organisations enhance their security.
These Physical Security Performance Goals–modelled after the successful Cybersecurity Performance Goals–are a collection of cost-effective actions specifically tailored for faith-based organisations that can be implemented to reduce risk without sacrificing accessibility. This is the latest resource the Biden-Harris Administration is offering to faith-based organisations in response to the current heightened threat environment.
