01 / The rule

What SCIF / Air-Gap Posture requires

Intelligence Community elements, DoD components and cleared contractors that store, process or discuss Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) or operate classified information systems.

  1. 01Process, store and discuss SCI only in a SCIF accredited by the cognizant security authority.
  2. 02Build and operate SCIFs to the ICD/ICS 705 Technical Specifications, including intrusion detection approved by the CSA.
  3. 03Obtain CSA authorization before any contractor system processes classified information (32 CFR 117.18).
  4. 04Appoint an Information System Security Manager and follow the RMF steps, system security plan and continuous monitoring.
  5. 05Keep classified systems separated from unclassified networks; cross-domain transfers need approved solutions.

02 / In this sector

In a tutor and grader workflow

AI models, data and tooling used on classified data must run on authorized classified systems inside accredited spaces; commercial internet-connected AI services cannot be used, and model updates or data imports cross the air gap only through approved transfer processes.

Usually asked by

District administrators, school leaders, and student equity teams.

Optional evidence · where Planisphere fits

Keep a record anyone can check

When your team meets a duty, Planisphere can seal the event it reports as a receipt.

01 · Your teamRecord the event

A disclosure shown, a review signed, a model change approved: the event your system reports.

02 · PlanisphereSeal it

The event becomes a sealed receipt, dated and attributed to whoever is signed in.

03 · AnyoneCheck it

Paste the receipt into Verify. No account or key.

A record supports your compliance evidence process. It is not a legal finding or a certification. Systems that call Planisphere's gate API can also hold or refuse an action before it runs.
