1. Every effort should be made to minimize or eliminate windows in the SCIF,

especially on the ground floor

• Facilities that have first floor windows:  SD window technolgy comes in 3 forms; surface applied film for existing windows; glass and polycarbonate for new construction.  SD has an additional layer of security for the deployments of wireless technologies; protection against Thermal Imaging and Night vision devices; physcial security, specifically glass fragmentation control.
