Frequently Asked Questions

A Construction Surveillance Technician (CST) is a certified professional responsible for monitoring and protecting secure or classified construction sites. They oversee daily construction activities, control access for uncleared personnel, and ensure that all work follows ICD 705 Technical Specifications and Intelligence Community (IC) security requirements. CenCore CSTs provide continuous oversight to safeguard classified information and ensure every phase of a build meets federal security standards.

Projects that involve classified, restricted, or sensitive areas typically require CSTs. This includes SCIFs (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities), data centers, secure government buildings, intelligence facilities, and defense-related construction sites. CenCore provides cleared CSTs who ensure these projects remain compliant with ICD 705 and other federal security protocols from start to finish.

Yes. Construction Surveillance Technicians are trained to escort and monitor uncleared workers who operate within restricted zones. They verify materials and tools entering or leaving the site, monitor all construction activity, and enforce security regulations. CenCore CSTs prevent unauthorized disclosure of classified information while ensuring that project progress remains on schedule and compliant.

CenCore CSTs complete extensive in-house training focused on construction surveillance procedures, access control, incident response, and ICD 705 compliance. Their instruction includes hands-on field exercises, scenario-based assessments, and ongoing recertification to maintain operational readiness. This ensures that every CST deployed is fully prepared to support secure facility construction.

CenCore maintains a nationwide team of cleared, mission-ready CSTs who can be deployed quickly for short-term, surge, or long-term projects.
