SPēD SAPPC: INFOSEC Practice Questions
with Correct Answers
C. Either DSS or the host command
Scenario: When designing a new multi-story government Special Access Program Facility
(SAPF), the architect provided identical drawings for two three-story buildings to the security
officer. One drawing is for a building on the installation to be occupied only by contracting
Company X. The other is for the command headquarters building on the installation. The
design reveals floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor for the main conference rooms
and front office staff. The drawings indicate a parking lot adjacent to the building separated
by a four-foot-wide, handicap-accessible sidewalk. The architect placed emergency exits and
stairwells at each end of the building with door hardware on the exterior to facilitate
access/egress. The floor plans show interior office and conference room doors with GSA-
approved locks and connectivity to the building access control badge system. The front door
drawings indicate a large safety 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 staff will greet people and in-process visitors. The plans identify lock boxes to be
placed inside the lobby for visitors and employees to store 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.
