Within a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF), your badge must be visibly displayed above the waist at all times while you are inside the facility. When leaving the SCIF, you must remove your badge. Additionally, everyone must badge in upon entering—no piggybacking is allowed. Authorized personnel are responsible for confirming the need-to-know and access of others entering the SCIF. These protocols are part of the strict physical security measures to ensure that sensitive compartmented information is protected appropriately within the facility.
