Meanwhile all activity and reporting can be viewed at any time through the web-based portal. We have had significant success in customizing HELIAUS to the Aviation environment, leveraging its capabilities to ensure compliance with regulations and reporting, resulting in reduction in TSA Letters of Investigation (LOIs) and other security related performance measures.
