How to “SCIF” a Modular Data Center
A.R.C. Vault SCIF
ICD 705 and Beyond
The A.R.C. Vault (Armored Rapid-deployment Compartmented Vault) is a single-unit modular SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) engineered to ICD 705 specifications. Its RF shielding provides 60dB RF attenuation and is scalable to NSA 94-106 requirements with 100dB RF attenuation. It can also be configured to meet custom Special Access Program Facility (SAPF) specifications.
A.R.C. Vault SCIFs are not retrofits of existing containers. They are custom manufactured from the ground up using Armag’s exclusive vault-like construction which includes continuously welded 1/4” steel to provide enhanced ballistic and forced entry protection. A.R.C. Vault SCIFs are custom engineered, designed and manufactured from the ground up entirely in our controlled 40-acre facility. Every material and component that goes into the build is thoroughly inspected before its inclusion to ensure maximum security, quality, and durability.
Accreditation Guaranteed
With Armag Modular SCIFs there is no worrying about accreditation. Our exclusive partnership with SPG Incorporated, who are unparalleled in the accreditation process, allows us to fully guarantee accreditation. In over 50 years of business, we have never had any products fail to meet regulatory specifications. We stand behind our products and do what it takes to build it right.
RF Shielding / TEMPEST
The A.R.C. Vault SCIF’s RF shielding provides 60dB RF attenuation and is scalable to NSA 94-106, providing 100dB RF attenuation. Additional shielding can be engineered to meet any level of performance desired, including extended range performance.
Armag performs comprehensive shielding performance tests on every A.R.C. Vault prior to delivery. We provide a full test report inclusive of all frequencies and dB of RF attenuation and guarantee that the construction exceeds the minimum requirement for the frequency ranges specified for your project. Contact us for detailed test plans.
To provide the highest level of protection, A.R.C. Vault SCIFs utilize multi-layered protection measures which include:
- Specialty RF filters
- Wave-guides
- Proprietary bonding and gasketing techniques
- RF shielded door assemblies
- Continuously welded steel plate on all 6 sides
- Protected point of entry penetrations (IT, electrical, communications)
Custom Built for Your Application
The single unit A.R.C. Vault is built to custom sizes from 80 sq. ft. up to 700 sq. ft. of customizable interior space, with custom heights also available. For larger facilities, the Multiplex A.R.C. Vault SCIF offers customizable interior spaces up to 5,000 sq. ft.
Interiors are custom configured to meet your application’s requirements and can include:
- Offices
- Server areas
- Workstations
- Conference areas
- Utility rooms
and more.
A.R.C. Vault Security Features Include:
- ¼” continuously welded steel exterior.
- Wall construction meets or exceeds STC 50/Sound Group 4 acoustic attenuation requirements.
- Scalable RF shielding to meet TEMPEST requirements. Armag can engineer your SCIF to custom levels of RF shielding.
- X-10 combination lock and additional hardware meeting GSA FFL-2740A and FFL-2890B.
- Optional intrusion detection system fully compliant with UL-2050 and Extent 3 requirements.
A.R.C. Vault Advantages
Armag’s controlled manufacturing process and in-depth expertise give the A.R.C. Vault SCIF advantages over competing modular SCIFs and SCIF retrofits of shipping containers, trailers, and rooms in existing buildings.
