ICD 705 • Secure Facilities

SCIF Planning & Accreditation Support

NTK helps organizations turn an SCI facility requirement into an executable project—connecting security documentation, design, construction, technical security, government coordination, and accreditation readiness.

CSP & accreditation documentation Design & construction review Inspection & closeout support

Someone Has to Connect the Security Requirement to the Construction Project

An architect can design the building. A general contractor can build it. An IDS integrator can install the alarm. A modular SCIF provider can deliver the enclosure. The customer still needs someone to understand the security requirement, coordinate the documentation, track security decisions, and keep the project moving toward accreditation.

That is where NTK fits.

ICD 705 / SCIF Consulting Services

Talk to NTK

Support can be tailored to a discrete documentation task, an independent design review, or ongoing customer-side support throughout the project.

Requirements & planning

Clarify the mission requirement, intended use, stakeholders, accrediting authority, schedule, and project-security risks.

CSP documentation

Support the Construction Security Plan and related accreditation documentation, drawings, narratives, and evidence.

Design review

Review security-relevant design features against the applicable ICD/ICS 705 requirements and project-specific direction.

Construction coordination

Track security requirements through submittals, field conditions, changes, inspections, and corrective actions.

Technical security

Coordinate IDS, access control, TEMPEST, acoustic, visual, and other technical-security requirements with qualified specialists.

Inspection & closeout

Organize evidence, prepare for inspection, track deficiencies, and support responses through final accreditation activity.

Modular & Containerized SCIF Support

Prefabricated and containerized solutions can simplify portions of the physical build, but the customer still has site-specific responsibilities, government coordination, documentation, technical-security integration, and an accreditation path to manage.

NTK can support the customer while the SCIF manufacturer focuses on the physical solution—helping define requirements, coordinate site integration, organize accreditation artifacts, and prepare for government review.

Typical NTK role

  • Customer-side requirements definition
  • CSP and supporting documentation coordination
  • Site-specific security integration
  • Design and vendor-document review
  • Accrediting-authority action tracking
  • Inspection preparation and deficiency resolution

A Disciplined Path to Accreditation Readiness

1. Define

Confirm the SCI requirement, intended use, cognizant authority, project stakeholders, and approval path.

2. Plan

Translate the requirement into documentation, drawings, construction controls, technical-security tasks, and schedule.

3. Review

Track security requirements through design and submittals before changes become expensive in the field.

4. Coordinate

Manage security questions and action items across the customer, vendors, construction team, and government stakeholders.

5. Inspect

Prepare evidence, validate readiness, and support facility inspection and deficiency closeout.

6. Transition

Support final responses and transition the facility into sustainable security operations after the authority makes its determination.

Practical ICD 705 Experience

NTK's approach is built around hands-on work supporting classified-facility planning, security documentation, construction coordination, government review, inspection preparation, and successful approval for use.

Public descriptions are intentionally anonymized to protect customer, program, and facility information.

Important

NTK is a consultant to the customer and does not act as the Accrediting Official. Accreditation decisions and project-specific direction remain with the applicable government authority.

Planning a SCIF?

Bring security into the project before the lease, basis of design, equipment selections, and construction scope are locked. NTK can help define the path and keep the security workstream moving.
