The module also provides a concise methodology to track the remediation efforts for areas of non-compliance.
  
  
• GPM believes that by using this module owners and operators will significantly enhance their overall compliance efforts regardless of the location of the facility or vessel. The module provides selectable compliance levels for each assessment area and allows users to implement the standardized question set as is, or modify it to address an individual facility and operator’s needs. The flexibility of the module to be tailored to specific situations by the modification of the base question set is one of its greatest strengths. In fact, previously developed question sets can be readily imported to the module to enhance the database of questions provided.
   
• Use of the ISPS module will reduce assessment and reporting time-frames through a consistent reporting process which presents the data in a readily understood compliance format. This module facilitates consistent, detailed security assessment of ship and marine facility sites, operational procedures and security controls. The need for consistency of reporting is especially critical for companies who operate multiple, geographically diverse facilities and operations.
