1. C. Either DSS or the host command: Scenario: When designing a new multi-story government Special Access
Program Ḟacility (SAPḞ), the architect provided identical drawings ḟor two three-story buildings to the security oḟlcer. One
drawing is ḟor a building on the installation to be occupied only by contracting Company X. The other is ḟor the command
headquarters building on the installation. The design reveals ḟloor-to-ceiling windows on the second ḟloor ḟor the main
conḟerence rooms and ḟront oḟlce statt. The drawings indicate a parking lot adjacent to the building separated by a ḟour-ḟoot-
wide, handicap-accessible sidewalk. The architect placed emergency exits and stairwells at each end oḟ the building with door
hardware on the exterior to ḟacilitate access/egress. The ḟloor
plans show interior oḟlce and conḟerence room doors with GSA-approved locks and connectivity to the building access control
badge system. The ḟront door drawings indicate a large saḟety glass key lock entry door with the unit logo
and designation etched in the glass. The single entry door provides access into the building lobby where visit control statt will
greet people and in-process visitors. The plans identiḟy lock boxes to be placed inside the lobby ḟor visitors and employees to stor
their electronic digital devices and other prohibited items. The architect designed an open lobby leading to interior hallways, an
elevator and access to the stairways. He placed the access control system central processing unit (CPU) behind the visit control desk.
Typically, the CPU is located in the dispatch center. The contracting company will be considered a tenant aboard the installation.
