THE THREAT LANDSCAPE

When the data is patient lives, privacy cannot fail.

Medical organizations face increasing pressure to protect patient data, proprietary research, and sensitive operational information from cyberattacks, data breaches, and industrial espionage — pressure that grows every year as HIPAA enforcement tightens and adversaries target the high-value intellectual property of pharmaceutical and biotech innovation.

Our SCIF solutions provide medical institutions with the safeguards to protect critical information, maintain HIPAA and federal compliance, and support secure research, administration, and clinical operations.

We ensure all projects meet or exceed federal and industry standards for protected health information and proprietary research.

FOUR PRIMARY VECTORS

01   Targeted cyberattacks on PHI and electronic health records

02   Industrial espionage targeting clinical trials and drug research

03   Insider exfiltration of patient records and IP

04   HIPAA exposure from non-compliant facility design

WHAT WE PROVIDE

Five core capabilities. One mission-ready facility.

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

01

Shielding and TEMPEST

Advanced physical and electronic security combining RF shielding, TEMPEST protection, and emanation control — preventing electronic surveillance of patient records, research data, and clinical operations.

RF SHIELDED · TEMPEST · EMANATION CONTROL

02

Controlled Access

Biometric entry, mantrap configurations, and UL 2050 alarm integration — preventing unauthorized physical access to research environments, PHI repositories, and clinical decision spaces.

BIOMETRIC · MANTRAP · UL 2050

03

Sound Attenuation (STC)

STC-rated sound masking and isolation engineered into every wall, ceiling, and door — protecting confidential patient discussions, peer review, and sensitive research meetings.

STC RATED · MASKING · ICD 705

04

HIPAA and Federal Compliance

Full compliance with federal and industry standards — ensuring secure handling of patient data and proprietary research with documentation ready for audits, accreditation, and inspection.

05

Turnkey, Rapid Deploy

Flexible, modular designs for temporary or permanent deployment within medical facilities. Turnkey solutions support facility expansions, temporary research operations, and upgrades.

MODULAR · TURNKEY · RAPID DEPLOY

Trusted by hospitals, research institutions, and medical agencies to protect sensitive medical data, ensure compliance, and enable secure operations across the healthcare and research sectors.

CLINICAL AND RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTS

From research lab to clinical operations.

Medical organizations need different facility types across the care and discovery continuum. We deliver all of them — built to the same standard, accredited to the same level.

ENVIRONMENT 01

Research Laboratories

Shielded laboratories protecting proprietary research, clinical trial data, and intellectual property from industrial espionage and unauthorized observation.

ENVIRONMENT 02

Clinical Trial Spaces

Secure environments for clinical trial operations, blinded study protocols, and protected patient enrollment — accredited to maintain study integrity and HIPAA compliance.

ENVIRONMENT 03

PHI Data Centers

Hardened data center facilities protecting electronic health records, imaging archives, and patient databases — HIPAA-aligned with full chain-of-custody logging.

ENVIRONMENT 04

Executive Review Rooms

C-suite and board-level discussion spaces for strategic planning, M&A activity, peer review, and regulatory consultations with patient confidentiality preserved.

ENVIRONMENT 05

Secure Administration

Administrative workspaces handling sensitive billing, compliance, legal, and credentialing operations — protected from interception and unauthorized observation.

ENVIRONMENT 06

Expansion SCIFs

Rapid-deploy SCIFs supporting facility expansions, temporary research operations, and upgrades — operational within days of arrival.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What medical leaders ask first.

Yes. Our facilities are built to ICD 705 and integrate with HIPAA Security Rule requirements for physical and administrative safeguards. Every facility ships with documentation supporting your HIPAA risk assessment and audit needs, including access controls, audit logging integrations, and physical safeguards documentation.

We deliver to NSA TEMPEST Level I and Level II as standard. Each facility includes multi-layer welded RF shielding, isolated power conditioning, and shielded penetrations for medical equipment, data, HVAC, and power — preventing remote interception of patient data and research signals.

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 grant deadlines, research timelines, or facility expansions won’t wait.

Yes. Our facilities support clinical trial spaces with controlled access, environmental separation, and documentation suitable for FDA-regulated research. We coordinate directly with your trial sponsors and IRBs to align facility design with protocol requirements.

Routinely. Our panelized modular SCIFs are designed for installation inside existing medical facilities — including drop-in installations adjacent to research wings, administrative offices, or clinical operations with minimal disruption to patient care.

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 HIPAA and FDA mappings available on request.
