MSP pilot

Repeat privacy gateway deployments without improvising every site.

The pilot is for consultants and small IT providers who need templates, runbooks, support boundaries, repeatable handoff, and a clear ownership model for route policy, DNS, fallback behavior, privacy posture, and recovery.

Partner profile
  • Number of managed sites.
  • Typical topology, router constraints, and route or DNS authority at each site.
  • Support expectations, response model, and customer approval path.
Pilot scope
  • Deployment templates, customer handoff, runbooks, support snapshot format, and review cadence.
  • Commercial model for repeated sites and managed appliances.
  • Named ownership for route policy, DNS policy, fallback behavior, and rollback approval.
Data boundary
  • Customer-owned credentials, domains, and traffic paths stay explicit.
  • Redacted diagnostics, retention rules, export process, and offboarding expectations.
  • Support access should be scoped, revocable, and tied to a named change window.
Ownership and policy
  • Name whether the MSP, end customer, or upstream provider owns route changes, DNS changes, fallback policy, and final approval per site.
  • Document the policy source of truth when existing controllers, routers, or MDM systems already manage the network edge.
  • Record how privacy posture claims are verified and who accepts residual risk.
Recovery and handoff
  • Confirm console, SSH, or local recovery access before any shared runbook allows live route or DNS changes.
  • Require a rollback path, customer handoff notes, and support exit criteria for each deployment pattern.
  • Keep fallback and degraded-mode behavior visible so customer sites do not drift into an unreviewed path.
Support boundary
  • Define whether diagnostics are customer-generated, MSP-generated, or shared through a redacted bundle workflow.
  • Set retention, export, and revocation rules before remote access or recurring operations begin.
  • Keep customer support boundaries explicit when moving from advisory work to a live change window.
