ICD 705 Physical Security Construction Requirements for SAP SA501.16

Description: This course, previously known as the SAPF Physical Security Construction Requirements course, provides the skills needed to evaluate a Special Access Program Facility (SAPF) in order to ensure it meets Intelligence Community Directives and Special Access Program policies. Although this course uses SAP terminology, it details SAPF requirements that also meet the requirements of a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF). The course consists of seven modules: 1) Physical Security Construction Requirements; 2) Doors; 3) Windows, Ducts, and Ventilation; 4) Walls, Ceilings, and Floors; 5) Instruction Detection System; 6) Telecommunications; 7) Classified Material Destruction Methods. Students will complete a Knowledge Check at the end of each module. Students can attempt to test out of the course using the link provided. If the student does not pass the pre-course practical exercise, then they must take the course. There will be a final practical exercise at the end, where students will apply the knowledge obtained from the course. Students will have unlimited attempts to pass the final PE, once the course has been completed.
