What the standard requires

The ASIS International standard on Workplace Violence Prevention and Active Assailant preparedness (WPV-AA 2020) describes how an organization prevents, prepares for, responds to, and recovers from workplace violence and active assailant incidents: policy, threat assessment and management, training, physical and procedural controls, response, and recovery.

How ResiliencyPulse scores it

The ASIS WPV-AA model has 129 questions in 15 categories spanning governance and policy, threat management teams, reporting and investigation, training and awareness, physical security, incident response, coordination with law enforcement, and post-incident recovery. Scores roll up to the emergency response and life safety and crisis management domains.

Who assesses against it

Security, HR, and resilience leaders responsible for workplace violence prevention programs, and organizations that want a defensible maturity view of a program usually judged only after an incident.
