Sustainable SCIFs: Can We Be Energy-Efficient and Secure?
Sustainability and security often feel like opposites in SCIF design. Windows are banned, wireless controls are restricted, and new “smart” systems can introduce risks. But with solutions like solar tubes, fiber-optic daylighting, shielded HVAC, and secure lighting strategies, it’s possible to build facilities that are both hardened and energy-efficient.

Layered Security & Zone-Based Protection: Why One-Size-Fits-All is Falling Apart
One-size-fits-all SCIF design no longer works. ICD 705 calls for risk-based decisions, yet too often facilities are built from templates that overlook mission needs. This post explores why layered security and zone-based protection are essential, how technology can enable dynamic risk management, and why testing and training remain the only true proof that a system works.
