Agencies and cleared facilities where compartmentalization decides who can know about a project, not just who can work on it.
In the Intelligence Community the constraint is usually not the technology but the space it goes into. Sensitive compartmented information is handled only in accredited facilities, and building or changing one follows ICD 705 and its technical specifications from design through the accrediting authority's sign-off.
Need-to-know applies to the delivery itself. Requirements arrive in pieces, drawings are controlled, and vendors are expected to work with only what their part of the job requires — which rewards teams used to phased, documented handoffs.
Once a facility is accredited, anything that changes it — new equipment, new cabling, new people with access — has to be accounted for. What happens after installation matters as much as the installation.
Three needs that come up again and again in this sector, and the part of Syntax that answers each one.
