Part of PDS Construction - Sealed Joints
Associated with IA controls: DCSR-3, PESS-1, ECCT-2
A PDS that is not constructed and sealed as required could result in the undetected interception of classified information. Sealing of joints is necessary to ensure that daily visual inspections of the PDS for signs of attempted or actual intrusion can be accurately and thoroughly conducted.
Check to ensure: 1. All PDS seams and connectors are permanently sealed completely around all surfaces (e.g., welding (continuous or track), compression, epoxy, fusion, etc.). 2. If pull boxes are used, check that the pull-box covers are sealed to the pull boxes completely around the mating surfaces. 3. Boxes with prepunched knockouts are not be used. NOTE: If a pre-fabricated (Modular types such as Holocom or Wiremold) PDS is used it is also required to have all joints sealed as specified above.
