Co-Location

Secure infrastructure placement with compliance-first oversight

Avoid unclear infrastructure scope with asset mapping tied to CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 readiness.

Reduce exposure with managed firewall, VPN, DNS filtering, and secure remote access controls.

Keep colocated systems monitored with managed EDR/XDR and 24/7 U.S.-based SOC response.

Support audit readiness with SSP, POA&M, policy templates, and compliance dashboard reporting.

Control costs by defining the compliance boundary first, so only in-scope assets are managed.

Secure Co-Location Services With Compliance Built In

Scoped, monitored, documentation-ready infrastructure

Scope Mapping
Define scope before controls

Co-location begins with defining what belongs inside the environment and what should stay outside the compliance boundary. CSS maps systems, users, data types, connections, and access paths so your infrastructure is aligned to operational needs before controls are applied.

This supports cleaner asset inventories, network diagrams, CUI data flow mapping, and scope reduction strategies for CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 readiness.

Secure Connectivity
Secure access, fewer gaps

Colocated infrastructure needs controlled access paths for administrators, remote users, and trusted systems. CSS supports secure connectivity with next-generation firewall capabilities, VPN and secure remote access, DNS filtering, threat prevention, role-based access control, and login auditing.

The goal is practical access without creating avoidable exposure, especially when regulated data or controlled workflows depend on the environment.

SOC Monitoring
SOC-backed infrastructure

Servers and endpoints tied to a colocated environment need continuous security operations, not occasional checkups. CSS supports managed EDR/XDR, patch management, device hardening, and escalation through a 24/7 U.S.-based SOC.

This gives your team a clearer response path when suspicious activity, failed logins, endpoint alerts, or configuration concerns appear across systems that support critical business or compliance workloads.

Compliance Records
Assessment-ready records

Regulated environments require documentation that matches real operations. CSS helps align co-location architecture with policy and procedure templates, SSP and POA&M management, compliance dashboard reporting, and mock assessment preparation.

For defense contractors, this helps connect infrastructure decisions to the full scope of NIST SP 800-171 practices without treating compliance as a separate paperwork project.

Data Protection
Protect sensitive data flows

Data protection for colocated systems depends on the right combination of encryption, identity controls, and usage boundaries. CSS supports FIPS 140-2 validated encryption where applicable, MFA, email encryption, data loss prevention, mobile device protection, and privileged user management.

These controls help protect sensitive workflows while giving your organization a more defensible structure for audits, reviews, and vendor oversight.

Managed Support
Integrated support model

Co-location works best when support is integrated with your broader security program. CSS can coordinate help desk support for full-service clients, compliance concierge guidance, and security stack management without forcing unnecessary disruption to existing IT relationships.

You get a clearer operating model for hosted infrastructure, including what is included, what is excluded, and which add-ons may be needed based on scope.

Co-Location Built Around Security and Compliance

What Your Co-Located Environment Needs

Effective co-location depends on clear operational ownership. Your environment needs more than space, power, and network access. It needs documented boundaries, protected access paths, monitored endpoints, and reporting that supports both daily operations and future assessments.
