What We Do
Security Plans
For Cleared Facilities
CSMs enforce the regulations of the construction security plan and report anomalies to Site Security Managers (SSM). They submit daily and weekly reports, photo documentation and input to SSMs that are required for documentation and perform other light administrative work. They ensure all security measures written in the construction security plan are followed and built according to IAW ICD 705 guidelines, photographing and documenting reference as the build becomes a fully active facility.
CSMs work with engineers, responding to requests for product improvements and quality concerns. They operate technical security devices and systems, and monitoring devices as an individual or with a team. CSMs must report suspicious behavior and security infractions according to site blueprints and ICD-705 standards. They facilitate weekly status meetings with clients and prepare weekly status reports.
SSMs are the direct link between the Accrediting Official (AO) and customer. They are responsible for all designs related to on-site secure work, including access control, intrusion detection systems, HVAC drawings, fixed facility checklists, tempest checklists, and any other penetration of the secure space.
They oversee and submit all accreditation paperwork to the government and serve as the subject matter expert to the customer, general contractors, and sub-contractors on-site. SSMs have vast knowledge of the ICD 705 Tech Specs and are the first to correct any deficiencies related to the build. SSMs are also responsible for training and mentoring CSMs.
