It also shows a One Time Password user how to set their One Time Password token PIN. Access to the NGC environment and associated applications may be accessed only by first logging in via the NGC portal.
General Information
All users should follow the instructions in Section III (Recommended Browser Settings) initially otherwise the trusted website message
will continue to appear upon each login.
Access to the NGC environment and applications requires dual authentication that includes using a NGC issued One Time Password
token, DoD CAC or a Certipath/Federal Bridge Partner Certificate.
To maintain an active account, all external partners / customers must log into the system at least once every 90 days.
If a user wishes to change the method of authentication, the Change in Access Authentication Method form must be completed and
submitted through a NGC Sponsoring Manager. If the previous authentication method was a One Time Password token, the One Time Password token must be returned to:
Northrop Grumman Corporation

Section IV - Getting Help
First Point of Contact
The first point of contact for gaining access to any of NGC’s resources is the NGC-employee who sponsored your access. This person is referred to as your Sponsor or Sponsoring Manager. This individual is familiar with the areas and tools that you need to access.
Your Sponsor is familiar with the specific areas you require access to within NGC such as project workspaces. Only your sponsor and those working with your sponsor can coordinate your access to these areas. The Service Desk does not have privileges to grant permissions or access to specific workspaces or projects.
The Service Desk
The Service Desk can help with basic issues such as a password reset or initial login problems. Contact the Service Desk at 1-855-737-8364. Be sure to advise that you are an external partner or customer. Provide specifics relating to the problem you are having such as ‘cannot login for the first time’ or ‘forgot my password’. You will be required to validate your identity using the security questions and answers you provided in your original access request. If the Service Desk is not able to resolve your problem immediately a ticket will be created. Be sure to get your ticket number for future reference.
Escalation Contact
Your Northrop Grumman sponsor is always your contact for any escalations that you may have.
