What is the purpose of the SCIF Fixed Facility Checklist?

The SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) Fixed Facility Checklist is specifically designed to assist organizations in ensuring that their SCIFs meet established security requirements before they receive official accreditation. This checklist includes a comprehensive set of criteria that must be satisfied to confirm that the facility is adequately secure for handling sensitive information. It helps assess various factors such as physical security, access control, and technical measures necessary for protecting classified information within the SCIF.

While managing classified material, training personnel on security procedures, and recording visitor information are important aspects of SCIF operations, they are not the primary purpose of the checklist. The focus is solely on evaluating the facility's readiness for accreditation, making it a critical step in safeguarding sensitive information effectively.
