The correct height for securing windows in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) is set at 18 feet above ground level. This requirement is based on security protocols that aim to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access or viewing. By placing windows at this height, it significantly reduces the risk of outside individuals potentially gathering sensitive information unintentionally or maliciously. The additional height provides an added layer of security, making it more challenging for anyone on the ground to see into the SCIF or access the area easily. This standard reflects a comprehensive approach to safeguarding classified and sensitive information within SCIFs.
