PD Inc Cloud Platform

ClearSpring

PD Inc Cloud Platform for DoW RDT&E

ClearSpring is the PD Inc Cloud platform — analogous in concept to AWS GovCloud, but purpose-built for research, development, testing, evaluation, integration rehearsal, and secure capability delivery. DoW teams consume ClearSpring as SaaS offerings inside the DISA Capability Factory's authorized DoWIN-replica environment.

Mission velocity and RMF rigor often compete. ClearSpring is designed so both happen simultaneously — engineering work produces RMF evidence automatically through ACCIDENT, the tactical automation layer built into the platform.

SaaS Offerings.
Consumed, Not Configured.

ClearSpring delivers DevSecOps and mission engineering capabilities as SaaS offerings — not infrastructure to configure. DoW teams consume CI/CD pipelines, identity management, security telemetry, packet capture, secrets management, and RMF evidence generation without standing up or integrating tooling from scratch.

Every layer produces continuous RMF evidence as a byproduct of normal engineering operations. There is no separate compliance phase — authorization artifacts are generated automatically throughout the development lifecycle.

Design Principles
Composable Swap any component without breaking compliance posture or authorization chain.
Opinionated-by-Default Secure defaults eliminate configuration drift and reduce attack surface.
Continuous ATO Every engineering action produces audit-defensible RMF artifacts automatically.

Compliance Posture

Authorization Built In,
Not Bolted On.

ClearSpring is pre-configured to meet DISA security requirements across every layer. Compliance is not a phase at the end of development — it is a continuous byproduct of the engineering process itself.

What This Means Operationally
No Separate Compliance Phase

RMF artifacts, SSP fragments, POA&Ms, and eMASS-ready evidence are produced as a byproduct of engineering work — not as a separate compliance exercise at the end of development.

Pre-Validated Controls

DISA security controls are pre-configured at every stack layer. Teams inherit a compliant posture from day one without manual configuration or integration work.

Audit-Defensible Trail

Every engineering action produces a traceable, audit-defensible record. The full development lifecycle is documented and eMASS-ready from the first commit.

ACCIDENT Framework IntegrationProprietary

PD INC's proprietary ACCIDENT framework automates RMF compliance and incident response — generating continuous evidence without slowing engineering velocity.

DoWIN Alignment

Built for the DoWIN.
Not Adapted From Commercial.

ClearSpring was not designed for commercial cloud and then adapted for DoW. It was built from the ground up for the DoWIN topology — the access patterns, security posture, and authorization requirements that define the operational environment.

Access Model
DoWIN-initiated, mutual-PKI access patterns
Already vetted with DISA — no new authorization path
C2 from DoDNET with no routing exposure
CAC/PKI authentication at every boundary
Security Posture
Zero-trust enforcement at infrastructure boundary
Pre-configured STIG baselines across all layers
Continuous ACAS scanning natively integrated
Full ESS suite at the endpoint layer
Authorization Chain
Runs inside DISA-authorized DCF environment
ATO artifacts generated continuously
eMASS-ready evidence from day one
DCDC-class mission ready from first deployment

The Stack Runs Inside
the Authorized Environment.

ClearSpring does not run in isolation. It runs inside the DISA Capability Factory — PD INC's DoWIN-replica lab environment, operational since 2012. The combination means program offices get both the stack and the environment, under a single engagement.

Ready to Move Inside
the Authorization Boundary?

Briefings are available for DoW program offices, DISA mission partners, and acquisition leads. We will walk through the ClearSpring stack, the DCF environment, and the full capability lifecycle — aligned to your specific mission requirement.

Who This Is For
DoW Program Offices

Program offices needing to test, validate, or field a capability inside a DISA-authorized environment without standing up new infrastructure.

DISA Mission Partners

Mission partners requiring DoWIN-aligned DevSecOps infrastructure with pre-validated controls and cleared engineering support.

Acquisition Leads

Acquisition leads evaluating DevSecOps solutions for DCDC-class missions who need a demonstrable, authorized environment — not a proposal.

ISSOs / ISSMs

Security officers who need continuous RMF evidence, eMASS-ready artifacts, and a defensible authorization posture from day one.
