What to expect in an onboarding briefing

Why the briefing exists

ServLogi does not offer self-service sign-up, by design. Every deployment operates within an authorization boundary, and the position of your workload relative to that boundary determines which controls you inherit and which you must address with your own assessor.

The briefing is where these decisions are made, with the people responsible for them present.

Who should attend

• Your security or compliance lead. Boundary and inheritance decisions are made in this session and are difficult to change later.
• The technical owner of the workload, so that hardware and network questions can be answered directly.
• Your contracting or procurement contact, if capacity timing affects a contract award or option.

Decisions made in the briefing

• Which regions will host your workload, and whether the deployment spans one region or several.
• The hardware profile, based on the characteristics of your workload.
• The position of the authorization boundary, and therefore which controls you inherit and which remain yours.
• The network plan, including any private interconnect or site-to-site connectivity.
• The capacity year. Because near-term capacity is committed, most new engagements are scheduled for a later year.

What you receive

Three documents, usually within two business days of the briefing:

• A control responsibility matrix defining, control by control, what ServLogi provides and what remains with your team. Your assessor will typically request this first.
• A network plan covering segments, addressing, and any interconnect.
• A capacity and timing summary showing your capacity year and provisioning schedule.

If you are still evaluating options, let us know at the outset. The briefing remains valuable, and the control responsibility matrix provides useful input when deciding whether to build or inherit a compliant environment.
