Following the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, the President directed that an assessment of federal facilities be conducted to determine their vulnerability to acts of terrorism and other forms of violence. As a result, a set of minimum security standards was developed that could be applied to the various federal facilities. The standards covers the subjects of perimeter, entry, interior security and security planning.
Because of the considerable differences among federal facilities and their security needs, the federal holdings were divided into five security levels to determine which minimum standards should be applied. These five levels are determined by facility size, number of employees, use and required public access. The levels range from Level I (typically leased with ten or fewer employees) to Level V (such as the Pentagon or CIA Headquarters with large number of employees and critical missions).
Because of the diverse mission and size of the Department of Commerce facilities, each individual site is reviewed individually taking into account their unique missions, threat, crime and surrounding environment. Following is the criteria for assigning facility Levels:
Level I

Level II
Facility Security Certification Form Doj Security Level II
Level III
