ICD 705 SCIF Compliance: What You Need to Know

Security threats are constantly changing, making it imperative for our teams to stay ahead by building high-security projects with precision and excellence. Whether constructing SCIFs, data centers, or other secure facilities, we are committed to adhering to the latest standards and specifications to ensure uncompromising protection. Constructing these spaces means following the criteria outlined in Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 705 to ensure sounds and electronic signals cannot leave the room, unauthorized surveillance is blocked, and other crucial protections are in place. The requirements set in ICD 705 range from more obvious security mitigations like alarm systems to radio frequency (RF) shielding and acoustic protection levels. These requirements are being updated constantly, and from 2025-2027,  RF Shielding and Accreditation criteria have been updated.
