SCIF - SAPF Program Summary
Northstar has worked with multiple clients across the continental US to lead the planning, design, construction and certification of over 55,000 SF of secure facilities satisfying Sensitive Compartmentalized Information Facilities (SCIF), Special Access Program Facility (SAPF) or National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) requirements. Team members have experience designing and building new spaces, renovating and recertifying existing secure spaces.
The tasks associated with constructing government secure spaces for classified work are interconnected and highly specific. During construction, Northstar can maintain control of construction requirements to include:
- Statement of Work
- Contract forms
- Design
- Floor plan
- Communication
- Alarms
- CCTV
- Sound treating
- Submittal review
- Review and Validation
- Construction Photography
- Walk-through and commissioning
In addition to the specific government directed requirements of these secure facilities, often the most difficult task is completing the required security documentation and inspections. Errors in this phase can lead to significant project delays. Northstar can provide government liaison and advisory services to complete specific tasks including:
- Concept Validation
- Construction Security Plan (CSP)
- Fixed Facility Checklist (FFC)
- Initial TEMPEST
- Documentation edits during construction
- Final CSP, FFC, TEMPEST
- Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)
- Emergency Action Plan (EAP)
Those who operate these facilities day-to-day understand the complexities of the programs and employees they serve. Often the initial set-up of operational procedures, or renewing existing procedures can significantly improve the quality of daily processes and can ensure no negative findings during periodic inspections. Northstar can aid this effort by providing services in the areas of:
- Documentation management
- Personnel management
- Information Systems Management
- Continuing operations
- Program Protection Plans
- Insider Threat Programs
EXAMPLE FACILITIES:
- Government Classified Facilities
