A controlled workspace for your defense subcontract

Turn contract requirements into a working boundary

A subcontract can introduce controlled project information into a company that otherwise works in a commercial environment. Begin with the prime contractor’s instructions, the applicable clauses, the deliverables, and the people who need access.

DFARS 252.204-7012 includes flow-down provisions for covered subcontract work. Clarify the information and handling requirements with the prime before choosing where the project team will work.

Map the full handoff: receipt of project material, internal review, approved changes, delivery to the prime, and retention at project close. Include commercial email, supplier portals, local devices, and any other systems touching that workflow.

Give the right people access

Castilix Secure Enclave combines Microsoft 365 GCC High, dedicated Windows 365 Government Cloud PCs, user support, and provider documentation. It can serve a defined project group alongside your existing business IT.

• Project delivery: identify the staff producing and reviewing controlled deliverables.
• Management and quality: include approvers who need access to the underlying material.
• Partner coordination: agree how prime contractors and other approved recipients exchange information with your team.
• IT support: separate enclave operations from physical-device and commercial-system responsibilities.

Use the shared-responsibility overview to plan those handoffs.

Start with the workspace; add the work you need

Standard and Premium subscriptions start at five users and include a provider documentation package. Customer-specific SSP development, policies, evidence preparation, migration, and physical-device management are separately scoped services.

For custom applications, specialized desktop capacity, or an environment in your own tenant, discuss an Enterprise solution. If the prime provides the entire work environment, first review whether a separate enclave is needed and how connecting devices and deliverables are handled.

Compare the cost of an internal build with the managed subscription using your own staffing and supplier estimates.

Bring the project outline

1. General contract requirements and the types of information involved.
2. The number of producers, reviewers, and approvers who need access.
3. Required applications and the prime’s approved exchange methods.
4. Your current IT provider, devices, documentation, and target start date.

Share a general project description through the inquiry form. Arrange an approved channel for controlled contract material.
