Hotshot Team for Immediate SCIF and Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP)

We understand that security needs can be urgent, while only requiring a temporary solution. That is why we developed our Hotshot Teams. These are specially trained and highly adaptable security professionals with extensive experience in delivering security solutions for critical infrastructures, classified data centers, and construction projects.

These Hotshot Teams can be quickly deployed to support urgent or unforeseen requirements from regionally assigned locations or on a TDY basis with minimal notice. These teams all hold elevated security clearances ranging from TS/SCI to full-scope polygraphs, which are recognized across the U.S. Government defense and intelligence communities.

CenCore’s Hotshot Teams are equipped to provide rapid response and effective security measures precisely when required. Whether our Hotshot Teams are needed for urgent short-term solutions or sustained long-term projects, we can help. Our Hotshot Teams can provide secure environments for modular SCIF construction, building temporary facilities, or providing critical infrastructure protection.

Our Hotshot Teams are the standard in providing immediate operational readiness, while maintaining the capability to address sustained long-term solutions.

Short-Term Security Capabilities

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

SCIF Construction & Renovation
Temporary SCIFs
Site Security During Inspections
SCIF/Secure Enclosure Testing

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.

CenCore Group specializes in providing scalable security strategies tailored for long-term operations that provide 24/7 protection for your facilities. Whether you are managing SCIFs, constructing or maintaining data centers, or protecting critical infrastructures, our services are the gold-standard. We currently secure over a thousand megawatts of data center capacity and are actively expanding this portfolio. Below you will find a list of our current long-term capabilities:

Permanent SCIF Operations

For permanent SCIF operations, we provide holistic secure solutions. This includes 24/7 surveillance, cleared access control, routine inspections, armed security guards, personnel escorting, and construction coordination with any team that requires uncleared personnel on the premise. With years of experience designing, building, securing, and sustaining SCIF’s in compliance with ICD705 and NISPOM, we are the trusted providers of cleared physical security services for commercial businesses and government organizations. We understand the overall need to fail-proof your secure facility from unauthorized personnel. Our team works to ensure that only authorized personnel are able to access the SCIF, while protecting sensitive information and safeguarding your operations in compliance with government regulations ICD 705 and NISPOM.

Air Gapped Cloud Data Centers

Protecting an air-gapped cloud secure data center requires security measures that exceed those of a typical data center to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive data. As a leader in securing these high-security environments, we deliver focused security solutions for air-gapped cloud data centers, including: building infrastructures with qualified and cleared Construction Surveillance Technicians (CSTs), cable pullers, and construction teams. We also provide qualified and cleared personnel to managing access control points, monitor surveillance systems, and armed guards for physical security, in accordance with ICD 705 standards. We also work closely with customers to implement additional security measures, including intrusion detection systems, to safeguard your sensitive data.

R&D & Critical Infrastructure Protection

For Research & Development (R&D) facilities and critical infrastructure, we focus on protecting intellectual property, classified research, and mission-critical systems. We implement targeted security strategies to safeguard your assets, protecting sensitive information and key operations from unauthorized access and potential threats.

Construction of Long-Term Facilities

For the construction of long-term facilities, such as government buildings, military installations, or data centers, we provide security oversight from the planning stages to completion, offering integrated solutions for all ICD 705-required security.
