CICB for government Windows environments
Government organizations may use CICB to keep an approved handling context visible on supported Windows endpoints. It can complement, but does not replace, login notices, document markings, access controls, records management, security auditing, or system authorization.
Deployment considerations
- Identify the authoritative marking policy and responsible information owner.
- Define which endpoints, users, groups, monitors, and failure states are in scope.
- Assign customer, shared, and vendor responsibilities for identity, PKI, logging, ACLs, updates, backup, and incident response.
- Choose Standard Connected or Air-Gapped Isolated LAN operation and document every enabled interface.
- Test the signed candidate on representative Windows baselines before authorization.
Public and Government Sector licensing
Eligible organizations may request PGS licensing through the Software Portal and Support Center. Current eligibility, pricing, quantity, duration, and approval terms are controlled by the Portal.
Assurance boundary
CICB does not provide immutable logging, SIEM integration, FIPS validation, or government-wide authorization merely by displaying a banner. Review the current evidence and unresolved findings before including it in an authorization package.
