It\u2019s always refreshing to find a company that shares the same values as your own: a company that has a customer-focused culture and pays attention to exactly what the customer has in mind. KL Security is excited to announce that we have recently partnered with Adamo, a customer-focused company that is one of the world\u2019s leading experts in advancing the security and the construction of SCIFs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Adamo began in 1962 as a design and build general contractor. By 1982, they began designing and constructing classified spaces. By the 1990s, Adamo was focusing on the high-end security market. Adamo has designed and built more than 600 projects within their 60+ years of operation. Within each project, Adamo consistently strives for excellence and meets accreditation requirements.<\/p>\n

The term \u201cSCIF\u201d stands for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

S<\/strong>ensitive<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C<\/strong>ompartmented<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I<\/strong>nformation<\/p>\n\n\n

F<\/strong>acilities<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SCIFs are used as a site for sensitive and confidential information to be discussed or shared. They are utilized by government and private entities to protect information. A SCIF could be a secure room or data center that shields against electronic surveillance and prevents data leakage of sensitive information.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are several security concerns that need to be addressed when building a SCIF:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

– Physical Security and Hardening<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Acoustic Controls<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Visual Controls<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Alarms and Access Controls<\/p>\n\n\n

– Electronic and TEMPEST Security<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Each SCIF has to be built to very specific standards. These standards are all laid out in the ICD (Intelligence Community Directive) 705 Tech Spec manual. This manual is managed and maintained by ODNI (Office of the Director of National Intelligence). ODNI is in charge of managing, processing, and safeguarding information for the entire country. The purpose of the 705 policy is to create a set of mutually accepted standards that will safeguard national security information.<\/p>\n
