Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (A/E/C) firms handle some of the most sensitive information in the defense industry. These include facility drawings, site plans, and specifications that show exactly how infrastructure is built. In the hands of bad actors, this information can jeopardize countless warfighters' and support personnel's lives.
Much of the information flowing through A/E/C is labeled CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information). This is why there is a great responsibility to protect it. Though the CMMC program timelines and requirements are currently under review, the requirements to protect CUI will likely increase over time.
For the A/E/C community, the problem has always been striking the right balance between protecting CUI without slowing down the work.
This is one of the many considerations we've engineered into our [BUILT] SecureCMMC℠ Enclave.
Unlike some industries where work is generally relegated to a single location, A/E/C work happens from the trailer, field, jobsite, and everywhere in between. This creates additional layers of complexity, such as;
Mobility. Users need to log in from wherever the work is happening
Project-based access. Each project may have a unique set of users and subcontractors who need access
Speed. Tight deadlines require a compliance solution that doesn't add more friction and cost
Device risk. Jobsites are often harsh environments that are rough on electronics
Most CUI enclaves were designed for the context of the office. When dropped into an A/E/C firm, these solutions tend to force teams to contend with:
Unfamiliar systems
Tools that assume CUI stays on managed desktops
Controls that treat access as static
Often, enclaves are leased through a solution provider; switching providers requires the firms to procure a new enclave.
This is why we've engineered an enclave solution for the A/E/C community.
[BUILT] SecureCMMC℠ is a self-contained, scalable CUI enclave built on Google Workspace. Every design choice maps back to how A/E/C teams work.
Features include:
Secure in the field. Teams can remotely access blueprints, project plans, and CUI
[BUILT] SecureCMMC℠ has been verified through DIBCAC multiple times, giving a proven track record where it matters most.
[BUILT] is developed and maintained by MNS Group, a CyberAB authorized C3PAO, and Managed Services provider.
The result: your teams stay focused on designing and building, while your CUI stays protected and your firm stays eligible to win and keep defense work.
