General Requirements for T-SCIFs SCIFs on sub-surface vessels shall be accredited as T-SCIFs. T-SCIFs aboard a vessel include portable platforms or containers temporarily placed within ship space such as embarked Portable Shipboard Collection Vans. T-SCIFs shall be occupied by an SCI-indoctrinated person at all times unless the facility is protected by a GSA-approved lock, an approved intrusion detection system, and a response capability or other countermeasures approved by the AO. Security Requirements for T-SCIFs Overall T-SCIF construction standards shall be the same as those used for permanent shipboard SCIFs. Vents, ducts, and similar openings shall be constructed to the same standards as those used for a shipboard SCIF. SCI materials shall be destroyed by means approved by the AO when no longer needed. AO-approved emergency destruction shall be rehearsed periodically by all personnel assigned to the T-SCIF and the rehearsals documented. Unclassified telecommunications shall meet the requirements for a shipboard SCIF, to the greatest extent practical. When the T-SCIF is no longer required, the responsible SCI security official shall conduct a closing inspection of the T-SCIF to ensure all SCI material has been removed. The CTTA shall conduct a TEMPEST countermeasures inspection and shall recommend safeguards to limit compromising emanations. TEMPEST safeguards should be pre-engineered into platforms to the greatest extent possible. Additional Security Standards for Mobile Platforms or Containers Construction of the perimeter must be of sufficient strength to reveal evidence of physical penetration (except for required antenna cables and power lines). must fit securely and be equipped with a locking device that can be locked from the inside and outside. SCI Storage and Destruction SCI material shall be stored in a GSA-approved security container that is welded or otherwise permanently secured to the structural deck. When no longer needed, SCI materials shall be destroyed by means approved by the AO.
