Commercial firms with contracts to provide services to overseas countries may register their personnel with the Embassy. Posts should provide security awareness information to the employees of commercial firms similar to that received by USG employees. However, anti-terrorism and security training protection is the responsibility of the commercial firm, and this allocation and responsibility should be written into any contract. B. Commercial firms may also receive security-related information through an affiliation with the State Department?s overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC) in Washington. Americans incorporated or affiliated with commercial contracting firms can join OSAC by applying via the OSAC website (http://www.ds-osac.org). OSAC has also formed individual OSAC Country Councils to enable resident US private sector organizations to exchange security related information.
