Tracking and Protecting High-Value/High-Visibility Assets

Abstract

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s (PNNL’s) Independent Oversight (IO) office led an assessment to evaluate PNNL’s approach to tracking and protecting high-value/high-visibility assets. The approach used by the assessment team included a review of requirements (including records), staff interviews, on-site and virtual walkthroughs of lab spaces, review of data, and the development of three separate workflows to capture PNNL’s current practices in the areas of controlled substances, select toxins, and precious metals. Summary results are provided within the report, including all findings and opportunities for improvement (OFIs).
