If you're an OSC, you've likely heard how a CMMC enclave can save your business time and money on your path to compliance.
In this article, we're highlighting a few of these features, and how a SecureCMMC℠ for Google Workspace might be the solution for your business.
How Does a CMMC Enclave Work?
Rather than lock down your entire enterprise, a CMMC enclave lets you dedicate a specific segment of your network environment to isolate Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). This drastically shrinks your compliance footprint and makes scoping simpler.
In general, a smaller scope equates to a shorter timeline and often less cost.
But not all CMMC enclaves are the same, and here is where SecureCMMC℠ shines.
Innovative CMMC Enclave Solutions: SecureCMMC℠
What makes SecureCMMC℠ different from other solutions is the unique features we've engineered with defense contractors in mind. Here are a few.
- Full Ownership: Many enclave providers operate on a pay-to-play lease model that locks you into their ecosystem. If you choose to part ways with that provider, you will need a new enclave and assessment. But with SecureCMMC℠, you own your compliance. You retain the tenant and the data, preventing vendor lock-in and safeguarding your assessment investment.
- FedRAMP High-Rated Foundation: SecureCMMC℠ leverages a robust cloud infrastructure backed by a FedRAMP High baseline. This provides a top-tier, government-grade protection for your sensitive CUI right out of the box.
- Advanced Access Control & Least Privilege: SecureCMMC℠ enforces strict boundary protection using Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). This isolates your CUI workflows from the standard business operations.
- End-to-End Encryption & DLP: SecureCMMC℠ features customer-managed encryption keys to secure data both at rest and in transit. Advanced Data Loss Prevention (DLP) strategies stop the accidental sharing of sensitive data, while restricted split tunneling ensures all CUI sessions stay fully encapsulated inside the secure boundary.
- Centralized Logging & Continuous Threat Monitoring: SecureCMMC℠ integrates real-time Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) to block phishing, ransomware, and malware. Simultaneously, a built-in SIEM serves as a centralized log repository, automatically maintaining the historical audit trails required for strict third-party assessments.
- Built for Google Workspace: SecureCMMC℠ was built to allow businesses operating in Google Workspace to continue to use the tools they are familiar with. This alleviates the operational downtime and learning curve.
- Scalability: By limiting the compliance scope to only the users and systems that handle CUI, you save significantly on full enterprise licensing and overhead. As your defense contracts grow, you can seamlessly provision new users inside the existing boundary without rebuilding your infrastructure.
- PFE (Prime Furnished Equipment): A popular feature of SecureCMMC℠ is the ability to rapidly integrate subcontractors into your environment with ease. Instead of forcing them to build their own CMMC-compliant infrastructure, you can bring them into yours with ease.
The SecureCMMC℠ Advantage
Built by a Lead Assessor, SecureCMMC℠ was designed to deliver a tight, assessment-ready compliance ecosystem that is ready to scale with your business.
Instead of spending months restructuring your entire corporate IT footprint, you can pivot to a purpose-built enclave that slashes implementation timelines and readies your organization for the upcoming mandatory third-party assessments.
