THE THREAT LANDSCAPE

In today’s world, the stakes have never been higher.

Financial institutions face mounting pressure to protect M&A negotiations, trading strategies, client data, and proprietary algorithms from corporate espionage, cyber threats, and insider exfiltration — pressure that grows every year as adversary capabilities advance and as cross-border deal activity intensifies.

Our SCIF solutions provide secure, compliant environments that enable financial teams to negotiate, trade, and manage sensitive operations with confidence — from M&A war rooms and trading floors to executive briefing centers and compliance review spaces.

We ensure all projects meet or exceed federal and financial-industry security standards.

FOUR PRIMARY VECTORS

01   Corporate espionage and insider exfiltration of deal data

02   Electronic surveillance of trading floors and executive offices

03   State-sponsored intrusion targeting client data and algorithms

04   Regulatory exposure from improperly secured handling of MNPI

WHAT WE PROVIDE

Five core capabilities. One mission-ready facility.

Every banking SCIF we deliver combines these five protective layers — engineered as a single integrated system, certified together, and accredited as one.

01

Shielding and Acoustic Protection

State-of-the-art electromagnetic shielding combined with engineered acoustic protection — preventing both electronic interception and audio surveillance of confidential negotiations and trading activity.

RF SHIELDED · TEMPEST · ANTI-SURVEILLANCE

02

Sound Attenuation (STC)

STC-rated sound masking and isolation materials engineered into every wall, ceiling, and door assembly — protecting client conversations, deal discussions, and trading communications.

STC RATED · MASKING · ICD 705

03

Multi-Layered Construction

Defense-in-depth physical security integrating TEMPEST protection, hardened envelope, and biometric access control into a single engineered system.

TEMPEST · HARDENED · BIOMETRIC ACCESS

04

Federal Standards Compliance

Full compliance with federal and financial-industry security standards, ensuring secure handling of classified contracts, regulatory data, and information shared with government counterparties.

ICD 705 · JAFAN 6/9 · UFC 4-010-05 · UL 2050

05

Flexible, Cost-Effective Build

Modernize aging banking infrastructure or integrate new technologies seamlessly. Modular construction options reduce build time by 50 percent versus traditional stick-built — critical when a deal cycle won’t wait.

MODULAR · RETROFIT · RAPID DEPLOY

Trusted by global banks, investment firms, and asset managers to enable secure collaboration and confidential decision-making — while safeguarding the financial intelligence that moves markets.

SECURE WORKSPACE TYPES

From trading floor to M&A war room.

Financial institutions need different facility types at different moments in the deal cycle. We deliver all of them — built to the same standard, accredited to the same level.

WORKSPACE 01

M&A War Rooms

Secure deal rooms for negotiations and due diligence. Rapidly deployable, controlled tear-down post-close.

WORKSPACE 02

Trading Floors

Hardened trading environments with TEMPEST shielding, sound attenuation, and surveillance-resistant build.

WORKSPACE 03

Executive Briefing Centers

C-suite and board-level discussion spaces for strategic planning, sensitive briefings, and client confidentiality.

WORKSPACE 04

Compliance Review Spaces

Secure environments for regulatory review, audits, and the handling of MNPI and sensitive client records.

WORKSPACE 05

Data Centers & Server Rooms

Shielded data center facilities protecting trading algorithms, client databases, and proprietary financial systems.

WORKSPACE 06

Construction-Phase SCIFs

Rapidly deployable interim facilities maintaining operations during permanent build-outs or renovations.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What financial institutions ask first.

Yes. Our 20-foot and 40-foot ISO container SCIFs and modular units can be deployed within days to support time-sensitive deal cycles. Each ships with full RF and STC test reports and accreditation documentation. For longer-term needs, panelized buildings deploy in roughly half the time of stick-built construction.

We deliver to NSA TEMPEST Level I and Level II as standard. Each facility includes multi-layer welded RF shielding integrated into the chassis, isolated power conditioning, and shielded penetrations for HVAC, data, and power. Level III is available on request for institutions handling classified government workstreams.

Roughly half the time. Because our facilities are fabricated off-site in parallel with your site prep, total delivery typically runs 50 percent faster than ground-up construction — critical when a deal cycle, regulatory deadline, or facility migration won’t wait.

Yes. We build to ICD 705 and JAFAN 6/9 for institutions managing classified government workstreams or supporting national security clients. Engagements begin with a Construction Security Plan reviewed by your FSO or program SSO, and every facility ships with a full accreditation binder.

Routinely. Our panelized modular buildings are designed for installation inside existing office floors, including drop-in installations adjacent to active trading desks or within executive suite footprints — minimal disruption to active operations.

As-built architectural drawings, RF shielding test reports, STC sound attenuation reports, fire suppression and IDS commissioning records, UL 2050 alarm certification, TEMPEST emanation test data, and a full ICD 705 compliance matrix — with financial-industry standard mappings (FFIEC, SOX, GLBA) available on request.
