Operating Context

Infrastructure designed for stability, segmentation and supportability.

Servers, switching, Wi-Fi, firewalls, VPN, DNS, DHCP, storage and site connectivity are reviewed as one operational dependency with diagrams and ownership records.

The final scope, response model, commercial terms and exclusions are confirmed in the approved proposal, service agreement or statement of work.
