Also note that the "umbrella" idea is further simplified with the introduction of hierarchical groups.
'Hierarchical group relationships for access control You can now define a parent-child relationship between access control groups to simplify permissions management. When this is defined, and when the object properties allow for permission inheritance, object permissions assigned to the child group are also granted to the parent group. A group hierarchy can also be applied dynamically during row-level security processing to grant permission to a parent group, if the appropriate object properties are enabled. See the Form and Application Objects Guide, "Using a parent group for permissions inheritance."' -David J. Easter Manager of Product Management, Remedy Platform BMC Software, Inc.

ITSM really doesn't support this way of using it in terms of multi-tenancy, so everyone would need access to the umbrella company's data. This can be problematic if you have to deal with certain regulations, such as my company needing to take market affiliate rules into consideration, but I won't go into the complexity of how I dealt with that unless someone is interested. The bottom line is that there is no perfect solution to your problem. The only thing you can do is try to change the way your business side understands the various entities within it.
