SafeMail® Defense in Depth (DiD):

· CBRNE Protective Services

· Critical Infrastructure Security Programs

· On and Off Site Secure Mail Screening Program Design and Operation

· Engineering Design and Integration

In 2001, SoBran was approached by the Department of the Army to develop and operate a comprehensive mail screening facility designed to protect high profile clients against the threat of mail borne chemical, biological, nuclear, radiological, and explosive threat. This ongoing project was the basis for the development of SoBran’s proprietary SafeMail® Defense in Depth program.

Originally designed to cover technical, operations, and logistics issues related to mail borne CBRNE threats, the program has evolved to cover all aspects of mail facility operations including facility design, technical integration, normal and emergency operations, internal and external security, emergency planning, internal and external team training and coordination, facility management and regulation compliance. Today, SafeMail® is viewed as the gold standard by which all other programs are measured. Our client base includes the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Defense, Department of Transportation, General Service Administration, HKS Inc, Gannett Publishing, and IKON Inc. Key elements of the SafeMail® DID program include:

· On-site Risk Assessments

· Requirements Review and Consultation Services

· Operational, System, and Technical Architecture Design, Integration, and Implementation for New and Existing Facilities

· Operational Protocol Development and Implementation

· Basic and Advanced Training for Operators, Technicians, and First Responders

· Exercise Development, Planning, Execution, and Evaluation

· Long Term Technical and Operational Support

· Facility Operations and Management

Designed to protect high profile clients from man-made and natural threats, SafeMail® DID screening technology combines the most innovative and advanced technical solutions with proven and effective operational protocols. This approach has served as the foundation for the development and operation of the nation’s most demanding and highest profile screening facilities. Today, the SafeMail® DiD program forms the operational nucleus for critical infrastructure support facilities including the Department of Homeland Security’s Consolidated Remote Deliver Site and the Pentagon’s Remote Mail Screening Facility. It also served as the foundational process used in the provision of letter and package screening services for Senator John McCain’s Presidential Campaign and the mail screening area facility design at the Washington Headquarters Services facility.

SoBran also provides the nation’s most comprehensive mail facility security and risk analysis, assessment, and awareness service. The SoBran SafeMail®DID Risk Assessment Program is recognized by the Department of Homeland Security and is the only program offering its clients the full range of evaluation services necessary to ensure full compliance with federal, state, and local safety and security regulations. The SoBran engineering, operations, and security team provides on-site services in the development of complex security plans including emergency action, communication, occupant/evacuation, and mail room specific continuity of operation plans. We also provide immediate and long term training and validation services designed to ensure that the plans remain fully functional across the lifespan of the program.
