Benefits of Container SCIFs

Procuring a facility to mobilize your secure program needs is easier than you may think with the route of containerized solutions. Be it cost, timeline restrictions, or potentially needing to procure an entirely new building due to space requirements, a Container SCIF may be the solution you and your team are looking for. Manufactured from ISO shipping containers, these options are easily shipped around the world with minimal logistics effort. Your program is moving to another state or even another country? Faraday Defense’s containerized solution will make the trip with you. Oftentimes, conventional construction timelines may cause major delays due to material shortages, personnel coordination, and permitting, just to scratch the surface. Our container SCIFs are a fully customizable piece of equipment that can serve your program in any capacity. Some of the benefits that we will showcase include design, timeline, ease of procurement, and the ability to relocate and become operational.

Faster Timeline
The fabrication of a container SCIF can take as little as eight weeks to produce once a design is approved! Constructed on-site within our secure facility, Faraday Defense manages 100% of the production of our containerized SCIFs. While the design phase is entirely customer-driven, it typically takes between two to four weeks, resulting in a container on-site in as little as 10 weeks after the issuance of a purchase order. This is often the quickest solution to mission readiness. Even if a traditional construction SCIF is on the horizon, a containerized solution can serve as an interim bridge to maintain operational capability.

Ease of Design and Procurement
With 8’ wide 20’ and 40’ footprints and an inside height of 7’3” on a standard container and 8’3” on a high-cube, the customization options are limitless. From workstations, server rooms, and conference rooms to lab testing and storage areas, we offer a variety of configurations to meet your needs. Faraday Defense’s design team will assist your stakeholders in procuring a fully functional facility, all while ensuring compliance with ICD 705 and TEMPEST requirements as set forth by your Accreditation Official (AO).

Relocation and Placement
Containerized SCIFs have minimal infrastructure requirements, as we provide a plug-and-play product. Power, data, and surface preparation will bring your program to life. While some additional security measures may be required by your AO, Faraday Defense’s container will be operational with:
✔ A shore power connection
✔ An unclassified data connection
✔ A semi-level surface for placement

If the container is being delivered to an austere environment, we can also provide leveling feet as needed. Additionally, just as quickly as the container becomes operational, it can be loaded onto a truck, train, or plane and relocated with ease.

Another common challenge we solve is expanding secure workspace. If your program has a pre-existing SCIF but is running out of space, we can work closely with your team to provide the best solution without disrupting mission-critical operations. Instead of dealing with the delays and costs of a tenant improvement project, which may require production downtime and contractor escorts, a Container SCIF offers an immediate, scalable solution.

If you or your team are in the market for a SCIF, SAPF, or T-SCIF, give us a call at Faraday Defense to discuss how we can assist you.
