Boundary and data-flow records
Inventories, diagrams, approved services, information flows and responsibility assignments tied to the environment that is actually operated.

Technical operations with documented control
Government organizations and defense suppliers need systems and records that reflect their actual contractual requirements. ALCO supports the agreed IT environment with documented administration, change control and technical evidence.
Work begins with the information and systems in scope, including federal contract information and controlled unclassified information (CUI) where applicable. Requirements and assessment decisions remain with the customer and its authorized advisors.
How ALCO can help
Identity and secure administration
Account lifecycle, multi-factor authentication, privileged-access controls, administrative paths and periodic access review for in-scope systems.
Configuration and protection
Supported secure baselines, segmentation, encryption settings, endpoint controls, patch coordination, logging and protected backup.
Controlled operational change
Requests, approvals, test notes, implementation records and rollback information maintained for material changes within the managed boundary.
Remediation tracking
Gaps are recorded with risk, owner, dependency, target date and evidence of completion so remediation remains visible, assigned and verifiable.
Assessment preparation support
Technical records organized for customer review, questionnaires and assessor requests without claiming a level or outcome before an authorized assessment.
A clear plan from the start
-
Confirm the requirements
Review customer-provided clauses, information types, assessment objectives and responsible roles. Refer interpretation questions to the authorized advisors.
-
Map systems and gaps
Compare documented boundaries with accounts, devices, cloud services and data flows. Prioritize access, configuration and protection gaps for approved remediation.
-
Maintain operational evidence
Establish the remediation register, evidence schedule and change process, with responsibility and completion records attached to each agreed action.
Scope and responsibilities
CMMC level, NIST SP 800-171 scope and contract clauses are determined by the customer's contracts, information and authorized government or assessment process. Alignment and readiness work are not certification, and ALCO does not represent them as one.
