In 2009, three of the largest public water utilities in the Bay Area, the Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD), the Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) and the San Jose Water Company (SJWC), all selected CSC's Site Security & Patrol services to protect their critical infrastructures and water systems from the threat of attack.

CSC's site security & patrol services were selected by the water utilities for a number of reasons, one of which is that CSC is highly capable of providing Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) services to protect their water systems, employees, customers, property and assets from potential threats during all stages of the Department of Homeland Security's threat advisory system. Specifically, CSC is providing cost effective security guards to protect each water utility's various facilities and water treatment plants during normal periods of operation, while also ensuring the highest level of security protection is available in emergency situations.

CSC is well versed in CIP and has helped actively promote the process and apply our knowledge in this area to several private and public sector organizations alike. CIP services are a core-competency among the CSC management staff, and a value added service that we provide to clients as part of our site security and consulting services.

As a result of the extensive law enforcement background, training and security certifications that CSC's management team has collected over the years, we are uniquely qualified to advise both private and public sector organizations on how best to secure the effective protection of mission critical people and systems. While it may be impossible to prevent all attacks against critical infrastructures, CSC understands that CIP can reduce the chances of future attacks, make it more difficult for attacks to succeed, and mitigate the outcomes in the event they do occur.
