What is a SCIF?

SCIFs are secure rooms used by the United States military and government agencies for the use, discussion, electronic processing, or storage of classified or Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI).

SCIFs come in all sizes – from entire buildings in which all areas but the front entrance/foyer are secured, to mobile enclosures erected in air, ground, or maritime vehicles. They can also be established temporarily at specific sites.

Access to SCIFs is restricted to personnel with proper clearances, and their physical construction, access control, and alarm functions are mandated by various directives, including:

• Director of Central Intelligence Directives (DCIDs) 1/21 and 6/9
• Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 705, signed by the Director of National Intelligence
• TEMPEST emanations specifications
