On this webpage, we present an overview of relevant tools that we developed in former and for ongoing projects. For example, the Biosecurity Self-scan Toolkit and the Vulnerability Scan are online tools to analyse biosecurity vulnerabilities in organisations. The Dual-Use Quickscan is a tool to identify potential dual-use aspects in research. In addition, this tool contributes to stimulating dual-use awareness.

Dual-Use Quickscan

The Dual-Use Quickscan aims to identify potential dual-use aspects in the research. In addition, this tool contributes to stimulating dual-use awareness among researchers.


Biosecurity Selfscan 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.


Biosecurity Vulnerability Scan

The vulnerability scan is a more extended scan compared with the self-scan toolkit with questions, scenarios and best practices built around the eight pillars of biosecurity. 


Biosecurity Resource Toolbox (Tor13 project)

The Biosecurity Resource Toolbox contains 60 resources, of which 27 are related to Biosecurity only, 23 to Biosecurity in combination with Biosafety, and 10 that are related to aspects of dual use. The type of resources available in the toolbox include interactive tools to mitigate insider threats at strategic and sensitive industries, checklists for the identification of vulnerabilities for strategic industries that house CBRN Chemical Biological Radiology and nuclear (Chemical Biological Radiology and nuclear) and dual use items, and documents related to legislation, guidelines, and best practices concerning biosecurity.


Surge Capacity Assessment Tool (SCAT) 

The SCAT analyzes testing capacity and preparedness for an increase in testing demand. The tool includes an Excel-based survey document and capacity calculator, as well as an extensive e-learning on how to perform lab assessments. They can be used by diagnostic laboratories assessors, national representatives or from governmental organizations, and stakeholders interested in laboratory outbreak preparedness. The assessments will help to determine improvements that can be implemented to better manage increased demand for sample testing.
