About the Port Facility Security Assessment (PFSA)

A Port Facility Security Assessment (PFSA) is an assessment used to evaluate the security of a port facility and its operations. It assesses the security measures in place and identifies potential vulnerabilities in order to improve port security. The assessment also helps to ensure compliance with international security standards.

A Port Facility Security Assessment (PFSA) is a comprehensive evaluation of the security of a port facility conducted by a qualified professional. The assessment evaluates the security of the facility, including physical security measures, personnel security, access control, and the security of the vessels and cargo. The assessment also looks at the security of communication systems and IT networks, and identifies any weaknesses or areas of improvement. It is an essential part of the overall security of a port facility and helps to ensure that all security measures are up to date and effective.
