The Importance of Third-Party Gap Assessment for a Food Safety Management Program

An unbiased gap assessment of a foodservice business' FSMP should be performed by a third party, using a defined set of standards for each business function
Hal King, Ph.D.
April 10, 2023

The food safety management program in a foodservice business should be periodically benchmarked against the most current regulatory requirements and best-in-class food safety standards to determine if gaps exist in the program. The gap analysis should be performed by a third party to ensure an unbiased benchmark, and include a review of the corporate governance, systems/specifications, training/education, supply chain management, foodservice operations, and facilities design. The food safety management team should coordinate and review all deficiencies with an action plan prioritized to the level of risk identified.

Cybersecurity and Food Defense: Establishing an ISAC for the Food and Agriculture Sector

With security threats on the rise, an Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC) is needed for the food and agriculture sector
Robert A. Norton Ph.D. Marcus (Marc) Sachs P.E.
April 10, 2023

With security threats against the sector increasing and cyber threats against the global supply system also on the rise, it is imperative that a food and agriculture ISAC be formed. It does not have to be fully capable at the start; just a few large companies that agree to pool and analyze threat information can plant the initial seed. If successful awareness and deterrence can be demonstrated, then other companies will join. At full capability, the ISAC can serve as a watch and warning center for the sector, providing timely threat analysis for members at all levels. In this article, the authors look at what it takes to create and run a successful ISAC.

An Information Sharing and Analysis Center for the Food and Agriculture Sector

The food and agriculture sector is the only U.S. critical infrastructure without a threat Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC)
Robert A. Norton Ph.D. Marcus (Marc) Sachs P.E.
February 6, 2023

An increasingly critical element of food safety and defense planning is assurance of data integrity—the ability to keep data unchanged as it is communicated or stored. Information that is used for decision-making or reporting cannot be compromised, altered, or manipulated by unauthorized users. Threat information is best shared through the establishment and voluntary participation of an Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC). Food and agriculture is the only sector that lacks an ISAC. With security threats against the sector increasing and cyber threats against the global supply system also on the rise, it is imperative that a food and agriculture ISAC be formed.
