Sound Masking in Government & Military

Government offices and military facilities collect and use sensitive information to carry out their missions. The Code of Fair Information Practice, established in the Privacy Act of 1974, governs the collection, storage, use, and release of personally identifiable information. Typical methods for preventing unauthorized access to personal information or classified proprietary and tactical information focus on securing computer servers and electronic communications. Securing verbal communications from being overheard or recorded by specialized audio equipment is often underserved due to high construction and labor costs.

Protect sensitive information and secure verbal communications from being overheard with a sound masking system by Cambridge Sound Management in government & military settings.

  • Various LEED initiatives including legislation, executive orders, resolutions, ordinances, policies, and incentives are found in 442 localities, in 34 state governments, in 14 federal agencies or departments, and numerous public school jurisdictions and institutions of higher education across the United States. In February 2008, DOE Order 430.2B and a memorandum issued by the Secretary of Energy to DOE leadership directed heads of departments to adhere to Executive Order 13423 by having all new Department buildings and major renovations with a value of $5M or greater earn LEED Gold certification beginning October 1, 2008.
