Certified ICD-705 Fixed Facility Specialist (CICD-705-FFS) Certification Program by Tonex
This program equips participants with the knowledge and skills to comply with Intelligence Community Directive 705 (ICD-705) for the design, construction, and accreditation of secure facilities. It addresses the physical, technical, and operational security requirements critical to safeguarding sensitive compartmented information (SCI).
Participants will gain expertise in fixed facility standards, security-in-depth concepts, and compliance processes. The training also covers the cybersecurity implications of ICD-705, focusing on integrating physical and digital security measures to counter evolving threats. By understanding the synergy between facility security and cyber defense, professionals will be prepared to protect national security assets against both physical breaches and cyber intrusions.
