The Biosecurity Office has developed various tools that can help you increase biosecurity awareness. Besides an informative film, you can also think of postcards and the 10 golden security rules. The Biosecurity Self-scan Toolkit and the Vulnerability Scan are online tools to analyze biosecurity vulnerabilities in your organization. The Dual-Use Quickscan is a tool with which you can identify potential dual-use aspects in research. In addition, this tool contributes to stimulating dual-use awareness.
Self-scan Toolkit
The self-scan toolkit is a relatively fast scan with a limited number of closed questions that can easily form an indication of strong and weak biosecurity aspects within your organisation.
