Complete Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility design, construction, and certification. ICD 705 compliant solutions with TS/SCI cleared personnel and defense-grade RF shielding.
A Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) is a secure room where classified national security information is stored, discussed, and processed. SCIFs are mandated by Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 705 and must meet stringent physical and technical security requirements.
These facilities protect against unauthorized disclosure of Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) through comprehensive physical barriers, RF shielding, acoustic controls, and strict access protocols.
Physical Security: Reinforced walls, floors, and ceilings preventing unauthorized entry
RF Shielding: Complete electromagnetic isolation preventing signal leakage
Acoustic Control: Soundproofing preventing verbal information escape
Access Control: Biometric systems and personnel security protocols
SCIF construction must adhere to multiple governing directives and standards. Our solutions ensure full compliance with all applicable regulations.
Intelligence Community Directive governing physical security standards for SCIFs and secure facilities.
Standards for telecommunications systems handling SCI in secure facilities.
NSTISSAM standards for controlling compromising emanations from electronic equipment.
Security and privacy controls for federal information systems.
Director of Central Intelligence Directive for private board requirements.
Detailed technical specifications for facility construction and materials.
SCIF RF shielding must prevent electromagnetic emissions from escaping the facility while also blocking external signals from entering. Our shielding systems exceed ICD 705 requirements with ≥40 dB attenuation across the full 10 kHz to 40 GHz spectrum.
Protection from VLF to EHF frequencies including cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth, and satellite
No dead zones or frequency gaps in the shielding envelope
Independent NSA-approved testing laboratory certification
From initial assessment through final certification, our comprehensive process ensures your SCIF meets all regulatory requirements.
We evaluate your facility requirements, security classification level, mission requirements, and facility constraints to develop preliminary SCIF specifications.
Our engineering team develops detailed construction drawings, RF shielding specifications, and material requirements tailored to your facility.
TS/SCI cleared technicians execute the construction using certified materials and approved installation procedures. Daily progress reports provided.
Independent NSA-approved laboratory testing verifies RF shielding performance. Full documentation package provided for accreditation.
SCIF construction requires personnel with appropriate security clearances. Our workforce includes TS/SCI cleared technicians who can access classified sites and work under contractor oversight.
Access to information that could cause exceptionally grave damage to national security
Additional access beyond Top Secret for specific intelligence sources and methods
We construct SCIFs for various government and contractor applications, each with tailored specifications.
Special Access Program Facility for compartmented programs requiring enhanced security measures.
Facilities where SCI may be stored in open containers with physical security controls.
Enhanced security with SCI stored in approved vaults or strong rooms when not in use.
Facilities handling intelligence sources and methods requiring enhanced compartmentation.
International facilities supporting coalition operations with multi-national access requirements.
Rapidly deployable facilities for deployed operations or temporary mission requirements.
Contact our SCIF construction team to discuss your project requirements. All inquiries are handled by cleared personnel with proper need-to-know protocols.
SCIF-rated communications available
SIPRNet access required for details
