CERTIFIED SITE SURVEILLANCE
TECHNICIAN FINAL EXAM PREPARATION
2026 ACCURATE QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
●● Why are requirements for each project unique? Answer: 1) Location
(Hawaii is different than Idaho)
2) Existing/non-existing SID
3) Size of facility
4) Complexity
5) End user
6) Type (Close/open storage)
7) Type of end user
●● SID Answer: Layers of security designed to enhance probability of
detection prior to penetration
●● CSTs do what: Answer: 1) Surveillance of site/personnel
2) Document construction for SSM
3) Inspect work in progress
4) Inspect material for accreditation and clearances
5) Penetrations, TEMPEST considerations
,6) Construction following CSP
●● CST knowledge: Answer: 1) Construction: Concrete, structural,
carpentary, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, finish work etc.
2) Security
Ideal is well rounded
●● ! CST Answer: 1) Knowledge and experience
2) Dependability
3) A
4)
●● ! Definition of CST Answer: To deter and detect clandestine (covert)
technological surveillance penetration attempts and ensure the security
of our facilities while under construction
●● ICD-705 Answer: 3 pages.
Requires all SCIFs comply with physical and technical security
requirements.
, Replaced DCID 6/9
Applies to IC but not all SCIFs as DNI oversees SCI
●● ICD-705-1 Answer: Physical and Technical Standards
Protect against compromising emanations, inadvertent seeing/observing
disclosure, forced entry, superstitious placement
●● Threat assessment Answer: Determine threats, vulnerabilities, and
security enhancements to protect information to appropriate risk
*Location of fabrication does not exclude facility from security
standards and review or approval by AO
●● * Include in CSP Answer: OPSEC and INFOSEC begin when SCIF
project begins
Use SETL and NSA/IA list and balance vulnerability and probability
Consequence analysis as matter of cost
●● 2 types of SID Answer: 1) Construction
