What does the Guidelines Designation Award by DHS mean?
This Designation is significant in three ways in that it: (1) establishes that ASIS guidelines are qualified to be a ‘technology’ that could reduce the risks or effects of terrorism, (2) limits ASIS’ liability for acts arising out of the use of the guidelines in connection with an act of terrorism, and (3) precludes claims of third party damages against organizations using the guidelines as a means to prevent or limit the scope of terrorist acts.
