Securing Collaboration for Mission-Critical Space Operations

Securing Collaboration for Mission-Critical Space Operations

Problem

A space systems provider operating LEO satellite constellations for mission-critical Earth intelligence serving Federal customers and government agencies needed to migrate from a commercial Slack environment to a security-hardened GovSlack instance.

To maintain Federal compliance and protect existing government relationships, all users, channels, and workflows had to be moved into GovSlack without disrupting daily operations. The primary challenge was achieving full security compliance while preserving critical integrations and collaboration patterns.

What We Did

Vectr Solutions partnered with them to execute a comprehensive, compliant migration to GovSlack. The project focused on the discovery, prioritization, and rebuilding of mission-critical integrations and workflows. The entire process was documented and tracked in Jira, ensuring a seamless, auditable transition to the new secure platform.

Key Capabilities Included:

  • GovSlack Environment: Established the fully compliant GovSlack instance as the single, centralized collaboration hub.
  • Migrated Channels: Transferred all existing public and private channel structures with identical membership.
  • Rebuilt Ecosystem: Customized and rebuilt priority third-party application integrations for the secure GovSlack architecture.
  • Compliance Tracking: Utilized Jira for a complete audit trail of all requirements and integration modifications.

Outcomes

The successful migration has provided this provider with a scalable, compliant, and secure collaboration platform, ensuring operational integrity as they expand their work in the national security and government sectors.

Notable impacts include:

  • Achieved full compliance with government security standards.
  • Maintained operational continuity by successfully migrating critical workflows.
  • Ensured seamless and secure user adoption across the organization.
  • Established a centralized platform to support future Federal engagements.
  • Delivered a fully documented migration process tracked via Jira.
