SCIF Construction & Renovation

Effective security during Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) construction and renovation projects is critical. We deploy special security officers and Construction Surveillance Technicians (CSTs) to maintain strict access control, manage uncleared personnel, and prevent tampering or covert surveillance device installation.

All security practices strictly align with Intelligence Community Directive 705 (ICD 705) and National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) requirements, guaranteeing your project is fully protected to federal defense standards.

Temporary SCIFS

For government evaluations, site inspections, or audits, we provide the essential security measures to manage access and prevent unauthorized entry. Leveraging our ICD 705 expertise, we utilize a comprehensive fixed facility checklist to evaluate your site pre-inspection, ensuring all security elements meet the rigorous standards required for a successful accreditation process.

We deploy cleared personnel to oversee the active inspection process, protecting your sensitive areas while maintaining strict compliance and operational integrity throughout the evaluation.

Site Security During Inspections

For government evaluations, audits, or site inspections, we manage access and prevent unauthorized entry. Leveraging our ICD 705 expertise, we use a comprehensive fixed facility checklist to evaluate your site pre-inspection, ensuring all security elements meet the required standards to pass the crucial accreditation process.

We also deploy cleared personnel to oversee the active inspection, protecting your sensitive areas while maintaining strict compliance and operational integrity throughout the evaluation.

SCIF/Secure Enclosure Testing

CenCore conducts full-range shielded effectiveness testing on our products and customer sites, measuring how well enclosures block magnetic, electric, and plane wave emanations between 9kHz – 20GHz. Standard testing protocols include IEEE 299, NSA 94-106, and MIL STD 285 for shielded enclosures.

Our engineers also conduct specialized evaluations for government and commercial facilities, including MIL STD 188-125-1 and MIL STD-125-2 testing for HEMP protection.

Permanent SCIF Operations

Comprehensive SCIF security services supporting secure daily operations, including cleared access control, surveillance monitoring, personnel escorts, inspections, and construction coordination in compliance with ICD 705 and NISPOM requirements.

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. Because these fast-moving environments carry unique compliance risks, you can read our full breakdown on why projects fail SCIF accreditation to keep your build on track.

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.
