A SCIF is a secured facility used to process, store, and discuss classified information. These structures must meet strict standards defined by ICD 705 and other federal regulations, including acoustic, electromagnetic, and physical security controls. 

NED’s SCIFs are constructed to be compliant with: 

  • ICD 705 and TEMPEST standards 

  • HEMP (High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse) resilience 

  • Ballistic and blast resistance as needed 

  • Access control, intrusion detection, and RF shielding requirements 

Designed for Resilience, Built for Security 

Northstar SCIFs are engineered for the modern battlefield and national security landscape. Our solutions ensure: 

  • Acoustic shielding to protect sensitive conversations 

  • RF attenuation to prevent signal interception 

  • Blast and ballistic protection for high-threat zones 

  • Cybersecurity integration to protect digital assets 

Each SCIF is designed in-house, manufactured by Northstar Building Systems, and delivered mission-ready with minimal setup.

What is a SCIF? 

Why Our SCIFs Lead the Industry 

  • 100% Composite Construction: Non-conductive, fire-rated, ballistic-resistant, and thermally efficient materials.

  • Deployable in Days: Factory-built, plug-and-play units reduce construction timelines and site work.

  • Scalable Design: SCIFs can be joined, stacked, or reconfigured to grow with operational needs.

  • Cyber-Hardened Infrastructure: Built-in shielding and secure cable routing to mitigate cyber and EM threats.

  • Integrated Power & Cooling: Support for redundant HVAC, power, UPS, and microgrid connectivity
