Challenge
The journey to achieving DoD IL6 certification for a major multinational technology corporation was fraught with complexities. In an environment where security breaches can have catastrophic impacts, the need for a cutting-edge, secure infrastructure was paramount. The company understood the meticulous requirements and the intricacies of the DoD IL6 standard, but aligning these with their vast operational network posed significant challenges. From ensuring least-privileged access to controlled unclassified information (CUI) to protecting mission-critical data, the technological intricacies involved were immense.
Additionally, given the corporation’s broad spectrum of services and the high stakes associated with defense agencies, there was an urgent imperative to embed a Zero Trust strategy throughout their ecosystem. This meant revamping their security architecture, creating an environment where every access request was robustly authenticated and authorized. While the company had tasted success with previous compliance frameworks, DoD IL6’s rigorous requirements felt like uncharted territory.
