Certified SCIF/SAPF Construction Surveillance Engineer (CSCSE) Certification Program by Tonex
This certification program equips professionals with the expertise to oversee and ensure compliance in the construction and maintenance of Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs) and Special Access Program Facilities (SAPFs). Participants will learn to apply construction surveillance principles, security standards, and operational procedures required by intelligence and defense agencies.
The curriculum covers facility accreditation, physical and technical security measures, and advanced threat mitigation.
Cybersecurity plays a critical role, as SCIF/SAPF facilities must integrate both physical and information security protocols to protect classified systems. Professionals will gain knowledge to detect vulnerabilities that could be exploited through cyber-physical vectors, enhancing overall facility resilience. This program ensures participants can safeguard high-security environments from evolving threats.
