Short-Term Security Service Capabilities

We understand that some security needs are urgent and temporary. Our Hotshot Team provides rapid deployment and highly adaptable security solutions for short-term security needs. The following sub-sections detail our short-term services:

SCIF Construction & Renovation

Effective security during Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) construction and renovation projects is critical. Our approach includes developing a project specific construction security plan that details each security measure needed to maintain strict access control and physical security. Our special security officers provide access control to the project, escorting for any uncleared personnel, armed guard protection and site security management through Construction Surveillance Technicians (CSTs). Our teams are experts in implementing these plans effectively in order to manage uncleared workers, prevent unauthorized access to security systems, and prevent the installation of covert surveillance devices, denying any attempt at tampering with the project. 

We implement and execute security practices with Intelligence Community Directive 705 (ICD 705) and National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) requirements, to guarantee your project is protected according to those standards.

Temporary SCIFs

When classified operations or other sensitive functions require a temporary Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) to establish a secure environment, our end-to-end security services meet all needs. Although temporary Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) builds often demand the same stringent security measures as permanent facilities, finding a provider equipped to handle these requirements for short-term projects can be challenging. Our specialized Hotshot Team addresses this gap by offering complete security coverage tailored to temporary settings. We serve as your single source for all security needs, helping the facility maintain a secure environment and full compliance with Intelligence Community Directive 705 (ICD 705) standards for classified data handling, without any compromise on security integrity.

Site Security During Inspections

For site inspections, audits, or government evaluations, we provide the necessary security measures to manage access and prevent unauthorized entry. Leveraging our ICD 705 expertise, we offer advisory services and utilize a fixed facility checklist to evaluate your site before inspections, audits, or evaluations occur. This checklist serves as a comprehensive tool to ensure all security measures meet the required standards, acting as a second set of eyes ensuring your site passes the crucial accreditation process. We deploy cleared personnel to oversee the inspection process, maintaining the protection of sensitive areas while adhering to compliance and operational standards.

SCIF/Secure Enclosure Testing

CenCore conducts a full range of shielded effectiveness testing for our products and on Customer sites. The purpose is to measure how well the enclosure blocks magnetic, electric, and plane wave emanations across the full range of frequencies, between 9kHz – 20GHz based on the needs of most shielded enclosures. 

Standard tests include: IEEE 299, NSA 94-106, and MIL STD 285 for shielded enclosures.

Additional tests are are also conducted by our engineers for both Government and commercial facilities, including: MIL STD 188-125-1 and MIL STD-125-2 for HEMP.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 If you need cleared security services fast—especially during construction or renovation—CenCore deploys short-term cleared security teams trained for SCIF construction, data center builds, and critical infrastructure projects. Our officers and Construction Surveillance Technicians (CSTs) hold clearances ranging from Secret to TS/SCI, ensuring compliance with ICD 705 and NISPOM standards.

 Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) construction projects require cleared security escorts, Construction Surveillance Technicians (CSTs), and access control officers familiar with ICD 705 and CNSSI 7003. These clearances—often up to TS/SCI or Full-Scope Polygraph—ensure that all personnel working on or around the SCIF meet the standards for classified environments.

 A Construction Security Plan (CSP) outlines every required security measure for a classified construction site. It details access control procedures, escort requirements, equipment screening, and covert-surveillance prevention. CenCore’s teams are experts in developing and executing CSPs that align with ICD 705 and NISPOM, protecting projects from unauthorized access or tampering.

Yes. CenCore specializes in providing cleared security coverage for temporary or modular SCIF builds, portable secure rooms, and short-duration classified operations. These environments require the same rigor as permanent SCIFs, including access control, escort services, and TEMPEST-related protection, all executed by personnel trained in secure facility standards.

Our security service offers cleared officers and CSTs who manage access control points, monitor surveillance systems, and escort uncleared workers during data center construction. This approach prevents unauthorized access, protects sensitive systems, and keeps projects compliant with federal security regulations for air-gapped or high-security environments.

 Short-term services—like those provided by CenCore’s Hotshot Teams—offer rapid, temporary deployment for projects such as inspections, renovations, or surge security needs. Long-term services provide continuous protection, including 24/7 surveillance, armed security, and ongoing compliance management for operational SCIFs and data centers.

CenCore performs shielding effectiveness testing for SCIFs and secure enclosures, including IEEE 299, NSA 94-106, and MIL-STD-285 testing. We also provide HEMP testing per MIL-STD-188-125-1/2, ensuring electromagnetic and RF protection meets mission-critical standards.

 CenCore combines government-level expertise with commercial scalability. We train and certify every officer to operate in cleared environments, maintain full compliance with ICD 705, and deliver both rapid-response and long-term security programs that protect classified operations, R&D facilities, and critical infrastructure across the U.S. and abroad.
