Hello all, I'm kind of oblivious at this so hear me out. I'm already cleared to access all GOTS through my current company and an employee doing gov dev work, but wish to setup an auxiliary build environment through my (myself) as a service for things which aren't allowed on the network due to legacy/IA/architecture.

Wouldn't this be considered as an external service if the primary just signed off on it for ATO, or do I need to be a full CSP in this case?

Build environment would be empheral, nothing lives long, etc, just unclear on how far I'd actually have to go. Current employer is small, but a sub to one of the very large contractors, would the prime have to sign off, etc.

Thank you for any advice.
