The SCP Foundation is a fictional secret organization featured in a collaborative writing project known as the SCP Wiki. Its mission is to "Secure, Contain, Protect" various paranormal, supernatural, and anomalous objects, entities, and phenomena that defy natural laws and pose potential threats to humanity. These anomalies are called SCPs, each assigned a unique number and described in detailed, mock scientific reports. The Foundation operates covertly worldwide, capturing and containing these SCPs to prevent public knowledge and maintain normalcy, often using amnestic drugs and censorship to erase memories of witnesses. The SCP universe blends horror, science fiction, and urban fantasy, and has inspired numerous fan creations including stories, games, and videos

. Separately, SCP also refers to the Secure Copy Protocol, a network protocol used for securely transferring files between computers over SSH. This SCP is unrelated to the SCP Foundation fiction and is a technical tool for encrypted file transfer
