SCIF/SAPF Rooms
Shielding Effectiveness
In many secure communication and intelligence environments, uncontrolled RF leakage becomes a critical
factor affecting the confidentiality of sensitive data. Command centers, police departments, and government
facilities remain vulnerable to electronic eavesdropping, RF scanning, or TEMPEST-based interception if proper
shielding is not in place. Even minimal signal leakage can compromise secure conversations, enable surveillance, or provide hostile actors with channels for data extraction. To address this, SCIF and SAPF rooms are engineered with integrated RF shielding to block electromagnetic emissions while maintaining full physical and acoustic integrity.

IAC offers several shielded floor systems tailored to different applications: raised floors (>100 mm), modular floating floors (>50 mm), and reinforced concrete slabs (>300 mm). These designs support both heavy static loads up to 30 tons and vibration-sensitive robotics or automation equipment, while preserving shielding integrity. Floors can be integrated into rooms of any size, from compact labs to full-scale facilities.
IAC Acoustics’ SCIF Doors are approved by U.S. authorities for installation in SCIF/SAPF and other secure facilities designed in accordance with C Tech Spec – for ICD/ICS 705 and JAFAN 6/9. These doors can be equipped with GSA-approved S&G 2740B and Kaba Mas X-10 locks, with additional customization options available. Performance ratings up to STC-64/Rw63 Real flexibility with custom sizes or designs Manual or automatic versions are available UL, BS and EN fire ratings and blast-resistance Single / double leaf swing doors and sliding doors Available Dimensions (W × H): Width: 400 mm to 6000 mm Height: 400 mm to 6000 mm Shielding Effectiveness up to 120 dB
IAC Acoustics offers a wide range of EMI and RF filters for both AC and DC power supply, isolation transformers as well as special shielded penetrations (for water, liquids, gas, or high-pressure air). A variety of signal cable penetrations is available, including fiber optic, BNC, N-type, DIN, USB, and other shielded connectors. If you’re unsure how to configure a suitable shielded I/O panel, our experts will help you find the optimal solution.
Conditioning and ventilation for shielded rooms are designed to maintain both RF integrity and acoustic isolation. Airflow is routed through RF-shielded waveguide panels and acoustic silencers, ensuring comfortable environmental conditions without compromising shielding performance. Custom HVAC solutions can be integrated for SCIF, forensic, and data center facilities of any size.
