CST Certification Training
CSA has developed and delivered certified Construction Surveillance Technician (CST) training employed within the Intelligence Community and Department of Defense military commands for ICD 705 SCIF projects. These training courses have been customized to meet the needs of the respective agencies and commands.
In order to address the necessity for cost-effective training solutions, that also minimize impact to the project, training courses are designed to be delivered local to the project site and utilize the construction drawings and specifications of the project. This approach has been proven as a successful model in both CONUS and OCONUS applications.
Target Audience

SSM Certification Training
Filling the role of the Site Security Manager (SSM) in accordance with ICD 705 requires a degree of insight which if attempted to learn over the course of the project can greatly impact the project's cost, schedule, and risk to accreditation. We have developed a best practices approach to Site Security Management which equips the prospective SSM with the knowledge to implement ICD 705 requirements, develop and maintain an updated Construction Security Plan (CSP), interface with the Accrediting Official (AO), work with the general contractor, and potentially manage site security personnel such as Construction Surveillance Technicians (CST) and Cleared American Guards (CAG).
CSA has developed a true best practices approach utilizing the lessons learned from both current and former Site Security Managers, to put together a tailored SSM training based on our training modules to meet your specific needs.
Target Audience
Personnel who will be assigned as a Site Security Manager and managers who will be overseeing ICD 705 secure construction projects.
