The purpose of this guide: to help you immediately identify and consider the physical security elements when establishing a SCIF. Use this checklist when consulting with the architect, designer, or other individuals involved in determining the security requirements and costs associated with the physical security of the proposed SCIF.

Remember the key to SCIF design: balance the threats and vulnerabilities against appropriate security measures in order to reach an acceptable level of risk (as mentioned in DCID 1/21, para 1.2.1).

This guide does NOT replace the need for completing the Fixed Facility Checklist (FFC) found in DCID 1/21. It is just an aid for you, the user.

To use this document:

• check "Yes" if the checklist item for the surveyed area applies or currently exists
• check "No" if the checklist item doesn’t apply or doesn’t exist
• check "N/A" if the checklist item isn’t applicable
• Cost column: indicate projected costs for a checklist item, as applicable
