CDRLs, ITAR/EAR questions, and CMMC evidence requests do not pause because your M365 tenant was configured like a consumer startup. intSignal runs managed IT, MDR, and tested recovery with change and access discipline your FSO, ISSM, and primes can trace—without us substituting for your export counsel, security clearance adjudication, or CMMC Certified Assessor.
We scope with your security and contracts teams: where CUI may appear, how subcontractors connect, which systems sit in your assessment boundary, and what evidence format your prime expects this quarter—not generic “compliant” language that collapses under a DCMA sample.

control-aligned ops tasks mapped in your SSP & POA&M language

BCP/DR

Contractor models
Primes, subcontractors, and software engineering services—where flow-down cyber and export rules meet day-to-day IT.
Multi-tenant engineering environments, SAP or Deltek-adjacent program stacks, and customer-owned tooling where one misrouted attachment becomes a disclosure event.
Flow-down clauses, JIT access for program teams, and evidence packages that match what the prime’s supplier portal asks for—not PDF theater.
Dev pipelines, build farms, and SaaS sprawl where “we’ll segment later” meets SBOM and customer software assurance questionnaires.
Pressures
Where DIB IT frays
Default sharing links, personal devices in labs, and subcontractor VPNs that never got removed after the task order ended. POA&M items that reopen every assessment because nobody owns the ticket.
intSignal delivery
Named ownership from identity lifecycle to containment—with monthly evidence your ISSM and prime reviewers can correlate to control IDs.
Outcome mosaic
Workstations, VDI, and lab patterns that respect configuration baselines and change freezes.
PAM-aware patterns for admins, integrators, and emergency break-glass—not permanent shared root.
Email and web controls, vendor onboarding, and third-party risk touchpoints with procurement.
Restore testing that includes program data classes your contracts reference.
Documentation that survives insurer and customer scrutiny after near-misses.
Architecture, tool consolidation, and handoff to managed run-state.
Six delivery threads
MDR, SOC, and IR playbooks that name program notification paths—not only IT.
Teams, SharePoint, and email patterns your SSP describes—executed, not aspirational.
JML tied to badges, program access, and sponsor changes as your security office directs.
Evidence tasks under your policies—we do not sign your SPRS score or CMMC certificate.
Servers, hybrid connectivity, and monitoring integrations as your boundary allows.
Where program classification and customer agreements permit cloud analytics.
Assurance
We do not determine export jurisdiction or CUI categories—your counsel and FSO own those calls.
CAB notes, approvals, and privileged session records suitable for ITGC-style review.
SLA-driven remediation with documented risk acceptance when engineering windows require deferral.
Containment timelines formatted for legal, communications, and customer notification clauses.
Results tied to systems your SSP lists—not generic “backup OK” screenshots.
Inventory and review cadence aligned with flow-down and procurement.
Phishing and reporting metrics your security awareness program can fold in—not a parallel training vendor unless you want one.
Expand domains
Operational tasks—logging completeness, access reviews, vulnerability SLAs, backup testing—that your RPO and assessor map to practices at the level you pursue. CMMC certification outcomes and SPRS self-assessment scores remain your management assertions with your C3PAO or assessor.
Technical controls and DLP execution according to marking and handling guidance your FSO and counsel publish—not intSignal deciding what is or is not CUI.
Directory, collaboration, and access settings executed per documentation you approve. Export determinations and license conditions remain with your export counsel and Empowered Official.
Many programs require separate contracts, facilities, and personnel clearances intSignal may not hold. We document what we can and cannot touch before work begins—no implied access to classified systems without explicit, lawful scope.
Engagement
From joint discovery through a defensible run state—with tickets and evidence your FSO and assessors can follow.
Contract footprint, CUI enclaves as you define them, identity sources, subcontractor map, prior assessment themes and incidents.
Gap analysis against your control baseline; joint prioritization with security, contracts, and engineering.
Identity cleanup, segmentation execution in approved windows, MDR tuning, DR tests with program leads at the table.
MSP and SOC steady state with monthly reporting mapped to POA&M and customer review cadences.
Primes & legal
Outages become social threads faster than press releases. We hContainment and documentation have to satisfy multiple audiences at once. We maintain evidence discipline and escalation trees so general counsel, security, and program leadership reference one timeline—without improvising export or classification conclusions.elp you rehearse customer-facing language, service channels, and technical facts that stay aligned—so “we’re investigating” does not contradict what parents see on Downdetector.
Outcomes
Evidence that maps to control IDs and ticket IDs—not last-minute binder assembly.
Access that expires with task orders and proof for supplier portals.
Security and engineering on correlated telemetry when you authorize that linkage.
Fewer vendor arguments when ERP, PLM, and SOC disagree during month-end or a program review.
FAQ
No. We deliver managed IT and security operations tasks mapped to practices your RPO and assessor define. CMMC certification decisions and assessment outcomes belong to your organization and the accredited assessment ecosystem.
When contract, citizenship, and data residency rules permit, we execute scoped administration and security monitoring according to your SOW. Sovereignty, licensing, and customer-owned tenant boundaries are documented up front.
Not without explicit lawful scope, cleared facilities, and contracts tailored to those environments. Most delivery is enterprise and CUI systems at the boundary your ISSM and customer approve.
We structure evidence exports, control narratives, and remediation tickets to match the questionnaires and artifact lists your prime publishes—while your contracts team confirms accuracy and completeness before submission.
Share contract mix (prime, sub, software), approximate cleared and uncleared headcount, primary collaboration and engineering stack, and top compliance drivers. We respond with a proposed service map, RACI, and commercial approach.
