Massport- Logan International Airport (BOS)

 

NASS lead the reshape of security operations at Logan International airport after the tragic event of September 11 2001. The goal of this project was to create a comprehensive airport security system that will challenge the new terrorists threats apposed on the aviation industry in the US and to
position Massport as the Nations’ leader in Airport security.

 

NASS conducted a 5 years review audit at Logan airport in order to review the security level of Logan International airport. The review included a review of the implementation of the recommendations from the
previous report in addition to introducing new security concepts and trends in response to the new threats. One of the main issues NASS focused on was the matter of 100% employee screening.

 

In 2010 NASS carried out a full threat and vulnerability assessment for the entire Massport airport system which includes Logan International Airport, Hanscom Field and Worcester Airport. The Report covered
the entire security spectrum of all three airports including national and international security compliance, physical security, organization andtechnological. NASS also works closely with Massport’s management in creating a prioritization plan for implementing the different recommendation in the most
effective way both in terms of security and costs.
