OSAC Publications
OSAC continually promotes the exchange of information on developments in all aspects of security and recommends methods for planning and implementing security programs abroad. To achieve these objectives, OSAC established committees to address issues such as emergency preparedness, physical security, and protection of proprietary information.

OSAC committees have produced seven publications to be used as guidelines by the American private sector living and operating abroad. The publication format is designed to be used by the security professional as part of tier organizations' awareness and education program. OSAC now has a comprehensive library of security guidelines with thousands of copies distributed to the American private sector doing business abroad. OSAC will continue to produce timely publications designed to assist the U.S. private sector in meeting security challenges overseas.
