RAC Highlights
Core RAC Platform
Designed specifically for public safety risk management activities, the RAC Platform allows users to create their critical asset catalog, assess their assets for vulnerability and consequences, identify and define their threats and hazards, perform detailed, DHS-approved security assessments, and analyze their jurisdiction’s risk.
The RAC Platform provides a proven and analytically defensible methodology for focusing and allocating risk management resources.
