Vulnerability discussion

Check content

For secure rooms or areas (*containing inspectable SIPRNet assets) check walls are true floor to true ceiling. Walls shall be extended to the true ceiling and attached with permanent construction materials. As an alternative true walls and true ceilings can be connected with steel mesh or 18-gauge expanded steel screen. Likewise, walls below raised floor (computer room) space may be connected to the true floor with steel mesh or 18-gauge expanded steel screen. TACTICAL ENVIRONMENT: This check is applicable where secure rooms are used to protect classified materials or systems. The only exception will be for urgent (short term) tactical operations or other contingency situations where fixed facilities and equipment are not yet present or incapable of being used.
