OSAC Publications
OSAC has also conducted extensive reviews of American private sector security support requirements overseas. It was concluded that U.S. business representatives
clearly needed guidelines to cope with terrorist activity, as well as violent crime, civil unrest, and other threats to their personnel and facilities. More recently,
emergency planning and protecting sensitive U.S. business information and technology abroad have also become significant issues for a growing number of American
organizations. OSAC corporate representatives concluded that these challenges could be addressed effectively in this joint public and private sector security forum.
OSAC continually promotes the exchange of information on developments in all aspects of security and recommends methods for planning and implementing security
programs abroad. To achieve these objectives, OSAC established committees to address issues such as emergency preparedness, physical security, and protection of
proprietary information. OSAC committees have produced seven publications to be used as guidelines by the American private sector living and operating abroad. The
publication format was designed to be used by the security professional as part of their organizations’ awareness and education program. OSAC now has a comprehensive
library of security guidelines with thousands of copies distributed to the American private sector doing business abroad. OSAC will continue to produce timely
publications designed to assist the U.S. private sector in meeting security challenges overseas. Click here to go to the Publications section.
Most of these documents are in text format. We are in the process of providing Microsoft Word, text and PDF versions of all documents.
Recently these guidelines have been converted to text based documents for the benefit of the
constituency. If you are having problems with these documents, right-click on the link and download the
