Abstract: The DHS-VISAT-T (formerly the TSA Self-Assessment Risk Module (TSARM)) was developed to assist all modes of transportation asset owners/operators in developing a security plan and in performing a vulnerability assessment of their asset(s). The tool is designed to be user-friendly, web-based, and is provided at no cost to transportation owner and operators. The tool captures a snapshot of the assets baseline security posture and assists the stakeholder in completing a comprehensive security plan.
