ICD 705 / SCIF Consulting
Secure spaces built right the first time — to ICD 705, ICS 705-01/705-02, and the IC Tech Spec — without the rework that plagues first-time builds.
What we support
ICD 705 is unforgiving of improvisation. The Tech Spec dictates construction details most architects and GCs have never built to — and errors discovered at inspection mean demolition, not paperwork. We bring the standard into the project before concrete is poured.
- Feasibility & siting — whether the space, the building, and the budget can actually support an accreditable facility
- Design support — wall, ceiling, and penetration details, acoustic and RF performance, door and hardware selection to the IC Tech Spec
- Construction security planning — CSP development, personnel and material control, and inspection readiness during the build
- Accreditation preparation — documentation packages, fixed-facility checklists, and pre-inspection walkdowns with the AO’s eyes
- TEMPEST coordination — working with certified TEMPEST authorities where the program requires it
- Remediation — honest triage and correction when an existing space fails inspection or falls out of compliance
Accreditation authority always rests with the cognizant government office. Our role is to make sure that when they inspect, there is nothing to find.

Who This Serves
Not just the usual suspects
- Defense and IC contractors standing up or expanding accredited space under NISPOM and program requirements
- Data center operators courting federal and defense tenants whose requirements arrive with an ICD number attached
- Corporates entering the federal market facing their first facility clearance and secure-space buildout
- Owners of aging accredited space facing re-accreditation, expansion, or standards drift
