UNDERSTAND YOUR ENVIRONMENTThe Challenge
Strict sovereignty requirements, disconnected networks, and a new regulatory deadline with no room for error.
01Digital Sovereignty Requirements
National policy mandates that all citizen data and critical infrastructure management tools remain on sovereign territory with no data leaving government-controlled premises. Cloud-based network management solutions were categorically excluded.
02Fully Isolated Network Segments
Several classified network segments have no internet connectivity whatsoever. Existing commercial NMS tools required cloud licensing, telemetry upload, or internet-dependent updates, making them unusable in these environments.
03NIS2 Compliance Deadline
The NIS2 directive requires essential entities to demonstrate complete asset inventories, incident response capabilities, supply chain security, and configuration management. With 9 months until the compliance deadline, the agency had none of these in place.
04Multi-Agency Coordination
12 agencies with separate network teams, different vendors, and no common inventory. Inter-agency traffic was routed through a shared backbone that no single team fully understood, creating accountability gaps during incidents.
