CSIS is equipped with an access control system monitored by DataWatch Systems. The main entrance doors, located on Rhode Island Ave NW, are locked from 5:30 PM to 8:30 AM, Monday through Friday, and 24 hours on weekends and holidays. Employees may gain access to the building during security hours with their DataWatch cards.

The elevators are secured 24/7. Employees and contractors must use a Datawatch fob to access each floor during business hours. All guests must be escorted to each floor by a CSIS employee. Hold the fob against the card reader until the red light on the reader turns green. Then, hold the elevator button to your floor until it illuminates. The elevators permit free travel to the ground and concourse levels.

Please report missing or lost Datawatch fobs to CSIS Human Resources immediately.
