Administration

O5 Council

Overview: The O5 Council, also known as the Council of Overseers or Overwatch Command, is the highest authority within the SCP Foundation. The Council members have Level 5 Security Clearance, giving them unredacted access to the entire SCP database.

While uninvolved in routine matters and deliberately separated from any contact with the anomalous, when O5 Council members do choose to intervene, their word is final. The exact number, identities, and roles of the O5 Council members is strictly classified.

Ethics Committee

Overview: While the O5 Council decides what is safe, the Ethics Committee determines what is ethical. Although the Foundation takes a pragmatic approach to moral quandaries, the Ethics Committee ensures that only necessary sacrifices are made and that the most ethical option is always chosen. Foundation personnel should be aware that the Ethics Committee is observing, evaluating, and passing judgement.

Recordkeeping and Information Security Administration

Overview: The Recordkeeping and Information Security Administration (RAISA) is responsible for keeping the Foundation database secure and intact. RAISA controls access to classified information, deciding what to redact and what to reveal. RAISA also maintains backups of the SCP database, protects documents against intrusion and infiltration, and monitors inconsistencies in Foundation files to discern whether the cause is mundane or anomalous.

Foundation employees may encounter notes from RAISA appended to SCP documentation, often signed by RAISA Director Maria Jones and providing context for the information that follows.

Special Departments

Decommissioning Department

Overview: Although the focus of the Foundation is on containment rather than destruction, there are anomalies that are too dangerous, unpredictable, or resource-intensive to be safely contained. When all else fails, the last resort is the Decommissioning Department.

This Department reviews petitions to intentionally terminate anomalous objects, approving only those proposals deemed necessary and viable. The Decommissioning Department also provides expert advice on the most efficient ways to decommission anomalies, utilising humane methods while minimising collateral damage.

Department of Deletions

Overview: The Department of Deletions handles issues related to Wikidot's database. Deleted content still exists in memory until those memories are overwritten. All things must be forgotten. Until then, we will never die. You'd better hold on to what you can; this is gonna be a weird one.

Departments

Security Department

Overview: The Security Department is responsible for all security at SCP Foundation facilities, being responsible for the safety of all personnel, anomalies, and equipment. SecDep is also responsible for capturing newfound SCPs that don't require the expertise of MTFs; the units that conduct these operations are called Recovery Teams.

They use a P90 and a Glock 17 as a sidearm.

Scientific Department

As many of the anomalies they are assigned to are dangerous or unknowingly dangerous, the SciD usually utilizes Class-D personnel to perform designated tasks; commonly for research purposes. Many can result in death or extreme danger, which is typically where the Security Department steps in to eliminate the threat.

Much of the SciD's staff are recruited from various places within the scientific community, particularly those who discover something anomalous in their field of study. The SciD is occasionally stereotyped as having little to no morals, only being kept in check by the Ethics Committee; however, this is far from the truth, as most truly depraved staff are turned into Class-D or simply terminated.

While there are many other departments in the SCP Foundation dedicated to scientific studies regarding the anomalous, the SciD is mainly nondescript scientific research that isn't monitored by any specific department dedicated to a certain study.

Lazy to add more :)
