Modular and containerized SCIFs

A Centurion Vault Series SCIF is your mission’s frontline protection: built from modular panels, and scaled by the panel as the mission grows. The Centurion Sentinel Series is the containerized line.

The facility

Our fully compliant ICD-705 SCIFs are designed for now and in the future

With the threat of cyber attacks, foreign espionage, global terrorism and industrial espionage, our nation and its industrial base are under constant attack. A Centurion SCIF is built to your design criteria to keep what matters inside it.

The Centurion Vault Series is the modular line, built from interlocking pre-engineered panels in any room or free-standing outside.

Modular · Vault Series

Fully scalable modular SCIFs

The costs associated with future right-sizing are eliminated. By adding more panels, we scale to your needs as your mission expands.

A Centurion Vault Series SCIF is your mission’s frontline protection: a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility built from interlocking pre-engineered panels rather than from a building. Cyber attack, foreign espionage, global terrorism and industrial espionage keep our nation and its industrial base under constant attack, and a Vault Series facility is built to your design criteria to keep what matters inside it.

Our solution is highly secure, pre-engineered panels that interlock based on your design criteria, creating a panelized system of modular construction designed to withstand and exceed all ICD 705-705.1 requirements, while being exceedingly fast to erect, architecture agnostic, budget friendly and re-deployable should your mission change.

A panelized build runs fabrication in parallel with site activities, which is where its schedule advantage over traditional construction comes from.

Modular · Assembly

Built by the panel

The Vault Series: assembled to your exact dimensions, panel by panel, and engineered with enhanced sound and signal attenuation as well as forced entry.

Modular · Scalability

Vault Series scalability features

A Vault Series facility scales up, scales down and moves, because the panel is the unit rather than the building.

Panels

  • 4 ft standard panel module
  • Custom widths and heights, built to your dimensions
  • Architecture agnostic. Build in any room, anywhere.
  • Free-standing outside structures
  • Scalable and repeatable testing results

Reconfigurable

  • If your mission scales up, add more panels
  • If your mission scales down, remove panels to free up floor space
  • Design engineers on staff to design or re-design your facility

Relocatable

  • If your mission changes location, your secure space travels with you
  • The same installation team that erected your facility relocates it
  • Re-certification and re-accreditation services and reports

Containerized

Sentinel Series

The Centurion Sentinel Series is the containerized line, built from 20 or 40 ft ISO containers.

Containerized · Sentinel Series

Centurion Sentinel Series SCIFs

The Centurion Sentinel Series is our containerized line: a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility built from an ISO container, and rugged, mobile, rapidly deployable and highly secure with it.

The Centurion Sentinel Series T-SCIFs are constructed from 20 ft or 40 ft ISO containers. A 1/4 in tube steel frame is sheathed in contiguously welded 1/4 in carbon steel, and every penetration is handled with dielectric breaks, waveguides and z-ducting.

Power, from shore or from our own Sentinel Power Pod, is filtered and distributed to your exact requirements. The Sentinel Series is verified by test at up to 100 dB of RF attenuation and STC 50–55, both measured field results, while being almost completely impervious to physical intrusion. Test data is available on request.

The Sentinel Series isn’t constrained by 8 ft standard ISO container widths. Our Sentinels can be scaled by connecting two or more units side by side, all while maintaining an STC 55 rating and 100 dB of RF attenuation.

Typical delivery and deployment of a 20 ft Sentinel Series ISO container is approximately 90–120 days from an approved design, assuming site readiness and normal procurement conditions.

Choosing a build type

Traditionally built, modular or containerized

Centurion provides all types of SCIF builds, so we are uniquely qualified to set the right expectations whether you are pursuing a traditionally built SCIF, a modular SCIF or a containerized unit.

Modular builds have historically reached accreditation ready as much as 75% faster than traditionally built facilities.

That said, not all SCIF questions are answered by the modular approach. Our team can help work through which one fits your site and your mission on a short call.

Both series · Hardening

TEMPEST as standard, and options for the missions that need them

  • TEMPEST, standard on both series

    TEMPEST is a standard feature of both the Vault Series and the Sentinel Series, with shielding tested per IEEE 299.

  • Optional HEMP/EMI hardening

    HEMP/EMI hardening is an optional upgrade, available where the mission requires it and not required for a standard ICD 705 SCIF. Where HEMP is required, it is built to MIL-STD-188-125-1 for fixed facilities or MIL-STD-188-125-2 for transportable ones.

  • Relocation and re-accreditation

    If your mission changes location, your secure space travels with you, with re-certification and re-accreditation services and reports.
