SCIF Buildings | SCIF Rooms | Modular SCIFs
Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities, or SCIFs, are crucial tools in the United States government and military world. These facilities, often known as SCIF rooms or SCIF buildings, offer the highest level of information security, providing a secure place where sensitive compartmented information can be discussed and handled. This level of security is critical for maintaining national security, as it ensures that classified information, sensitive documents, and sensitive material are strictly protected from unauthorized access and electronic surveillance.
SCIFs are pivotal in preventing data leakage of sensitive security and military information, functioning as a Faraday cage to guard against the interception of electronic devices such as cell phones. SCIFs are specially designed to suppress the leakage of sensitive information, and they follow strict guidelines to ensure that information is exclusively accessible to individuals with the appropriate security clearance. This secure location is meticulously constructed to prevent both physical and electronic interception of classified documents and top-secret information.

Construction and Specifications of SCIFs
SCIF construction adheres to stringent technical specifications, laid out by the Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) to meet the highest security requirements. SCIFs must meet all ICD 705 for STC 45 and STC 50 requirements. The solid construction of these facilities withstands extreme environments, often experienced in military operations. They must also comply with certified TEMPEST requirements, designed to prevent unintended intelligence leaks due to electromagnetic emissions from electronic equipment within the SCIF perimeter.
The construction and design of a SCIF, whether it’s a conference room or another kind of facility, prioritize ease of installation with minimal facility disruptions. Rapid deployment of these facilities is crucial, especially in situations where secure and accredited SCIF is required promptly, such as in government buildings or even in hotel rooms during travels by top-ranking officials.
Classification and Accreditation
For a SCIF to be officially recognized and utilized for handling top-secret information and sensitive compartmented information, it must go through a rigorous classification and accreditation process. The government meticulously inspects each SCIF room, evaluating them for threats, vulnerabilities, and assets to determine the most efficient countermeasure required for physical and technical security. Only after meeting these rigorous standards, a SCIF is deemed an accredited SCIF, ensuring that it’s a secure room where classified material can be discussed and handled.
The strict guidelines and protocols are essential as SCIFs are frequently used by military officials, the intelligence community, and members of the House Intelligence Committee who require secure places to discuss matters of national security. Each person entering a SCIF must have the appropriate security clearance and follow access control measures to ensure the integrity of sensitive information contained within.
