ACAMS Data Collection

TSG Solutions has proactively embraced the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Automated Critical Asset Management System (ACAMS), which is the DHS standard for housing site information and is being implemented across the U.S. TSG Solutions has developed tools to simplify, standardize, and expedite site data collection for the ACAMS.

Many of our management and technical staff possess current ACAMS, PCII, and FEMA IS-860a certifications, with individual team members having a wealth of experience inputting data into ACAMS from projects in multiple states. The DHS Asset Manager’s Questionnaire and Initial Asset Visit forms, along with a variety of other assessment data requirements from FEMA, the Secret Service, and elsewhere, have been incorporated into our data collection process and software tools, allowing for an automated flow of site data into the ACAMS system.

Our home office is based near the founders of ACAMS, the Los Angeles Police Department Archangel Program, whom we worked with early in our history to define Responder needs for our Tactical Survey® System. According to the California Emergency Management Agency, we are the first private company in California to be certified as ACAMS Supervisors. Our personnel have performed site assessments and ACAMS site entries for over 10,000 sites nationwide. We have entered ACAMS data for sites within California, Iowa and Minnesota and Alabama.
