  1. What is 'two-person integrity (TPI)' as applied to DoD physical security?

    Answer: A rule requiring two authorized individuals to be present whenever accessing certain sensitive materials or areas

    Two-person integrity requires that two authorized individuals are always present together when accessing certain sensitive materials or areas, preventing any single person from acting alone.

  2. Which intrusion detection system (IDS) component detects motion inside a secured room using microwave or infrared energy?

    Answer: Volumetric sensor

    Volumetric sensors detect motion throughout the interior volume of a room using passive infrared, microwave, or ultrasonic technology.

  3. Under DoD guidance, a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) must meet construction standards outlined in which document?

    Answer: ICD 705

    Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 705 establishes the technical and physical standards for constructing and accrediting SCIFs.

  4. What action is required when a DoD Common Access Card (CAC) is lost or stolen?

    Answer: Report immediately to the security office and revoke the certificate through RAPIDS

    A lost or stolen CAC must be reported immediately so that PKI certificates can be revoked through the Real-time Automated Personnel Identification System (RAPIDS) to prevent unauthorized use.

  5. What is 'tailgating' in the context of DoD access control?

    Answer: An unauthorized person following an authorized person through a secured door without presenting credentials

    Tailgating (or piggybacking) is a physical security breach where an unauthorized person gains access by closely following an authorized individual through a controlled entry point.

  6. Which DoD physical security measure ensures that only personnel with a verified need-to-know can enter a classified vault area?

    Answer: Access control list (ACL) maintained by the security manager

    A security manager-maintained access control list verifies both security clearance and need-to-know before granting vault entry, as required by DoD security policy.
