SignalGrid integrates by consuming identity/posture/context signals, making a decision, and coordinating downstream actions. Current integration language should distinguish demo simulation from validated customer integrations.
The current repository can demonstrate integration behavior through deterministic demo flows and local payload previews for:
- Badge/session-start events.
- Device posture fixtures and telemetry-store reads.
- NAC-style quarantine/action records.
- SIEM-style security event records.
- ITSM-style ticket/action records.
- Demo media and storyboard outputs.
These are useful for explaining the control loop, but they should not be described as live production integrations unless connected and validated in a target environment.
Prioritize the smallest integration set needed to prove a pilot workflow:
- Identity / badge source — confirm who is requesting access and map badge/session context to a user.
- UEM/MDM or endpoint posture source — provide fresh compliant, non-compliant, or unknown posture signals.
- Audit/event sink — preserve decision evidence in a customer-approved log destination.
- ITSM workflow — create reviewable tickets or tasks for denied or remediated sessions.
- NAC or enforcement target — only after policy, rollback, and safety boundaries are explicit.
After the first pilot workflow is stable, consider:
- Additional MDM/UEM providers.
- Endpoint security and DEX telemetry providers.
- SIEM/SOAR enrichment and correlation workflows.
- HRIS or workforce context sources where appropriate and approved.
- Location/RTLS systems for shared-device return or zone context.
- Multiple enforcement systems for complex frontline environments.
- Do not use production credentials in demos.
- Do not call real webhooks from browser demo or media capture flows.
- Require explicit signing secrets and scoped credentials for shared/staging environments.
- Prefer read-only or audit-only pilot modes before write/enforcement actions.
- Use least-privilege service accounts and short rollback paths.
- Keep high-risk actions disabled until policy ownership and approval gates are clear.
- Record integration actions with enough detail for post-demo or post-pilot review.
Start with identity, posture, and audit evidence. Add ticketing next. Add enforcement only when customer stakeholders agree on policy, blast radius, rollback, and success metrics.
