Physical Security for ICD 705

 

Basic Physical Security for ICD 705 Series Facilities eCourse

---

SASQ LLC is proud to announce our Basic Physical Security for ICD 705 Series Facilities Course has transitioned to an online course!

You no longer have to coordinate your schedule to attend a classroom course, or wait for a larger group to get your training.  You may sign up at any time and complete the course on your own schedule, in your office, or teleworking from your home.

To ensure the same quality of training with the online course, SASQ LLC provides you all the handouts and materials used in the classroom course.  Plus, since we are not limited to a 5-day classroom setting, more practical exercises have been added to re-enforce what you learn during the course.  Also, since the course is online, you have the option to go back and review portions of the course you may need more time on.

The course was developed to provide a basic level of understanding of the Physical Security requirements for ICD 705 facilities.

What are ICD 705 facilities?  Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs), Special Access Program Facilities (SAPFs), and their assorted variations; TSCIFs, TSWAs, SWAs, and SSWAs.

The course is geared toward new CPSOs, CSSOs, and other personnel responsible for managing or inspecting ICD 705 facilities, who lack a Physical Security background or formal training.

How long is the training?

In a classroom setting, the course was 5 days of lecture with practical exercises on each point of instruction.

In an online, self-paced format, you will now complete the course on your schedule and on your timeline.

Through the course your student will learn by doing.

Beginning with learning to read construction documents and drawings, the students will design a notional SCIF.  Exercises will consist of completing a Construction Security Plan, Fixed Facility Checklist, and TEMPEST addendum for the new facility.

Students will learn ICD 705 physical security requirements and apply that knowledge by identifying specific physical security requirements for a new facility, then reviewing a new facility design to validate all requirements have been included.

We don't just talk about the requirements, for each module the students must compile a list of requirements to be presented to an architect for a new SCIF design.  At the end of the course, and upon completion of the new SCIF design, the students are given a drawing set with which they must identify all of their requirements and determine if those inputs were included and the requirements met.

Who is conducting the training?

Shaun McKinley has 31+ years' experience inspecting SCIFs and SAPFs, including 3 years as an ACSPO, in which he built 3 SCIFs and helped design several more.

 

We don't have a "slide deck".  We have a course of instruction based on current experience in the field and on ongoing policy development.

We don't just tell you what the policy is, we explain why it is, how it came to be, and the reasons behind the requirements in the policy.

What materials come with the course?

The student will be given login information for the Learning Management System which will be valid for 180 days (for group purchases, the company may request more or less access time).  They will also be given access to our Update Module and Downloadable Resources which has no expiration date.

In order to teach the ICD 705 series requirements, you need to ensure all students have all the required materials and information available.  To this end, each student is provided with hard copies of the following:

ICD 705

ICS 705-1

ICS 705-2

IC Technical Specifications v1.5

ICD 705 Series compilation comparative source

Reference FFC

All required forms for Practical Exercises

2 Architectural "C" drawing sets  (2 different SCIFs)

Students are also provided a link to electronic copies of all of the required guidance and forms, as well as additional information to assist them in their job.

How current is the course?

This course was just re-accomplished to put it online.  It incorporates the latest IC Technical Specifications update, version 1.5.1 , and will continue to be updated as guidance changes.

Included with your course is a link to our updates Module.  In the updates module we will keep the latest information available on ICD 705 series guidance, and any changes which aren't significant enough to change the base course.

Even after completion of the course your student will have continuing access to the Updates Module as well as our Downloadable Resources.

The SCIF and SAPF security communities are a small niche group and SASQ LLC is proud to support this community in any way it can.
