CMMC Enclave Solutions
Dedicated CMMC-compliant enclave environments for CUI protection. Pre-configured infrastructure with inheritable controls, FedRAMP High authorization, and managed security operations.
What Is a CMMC Enclave
A CMMC enclave is an isolated, pre-configured environment specifically designed to process, store, and transmit Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in compliance with all 110 NIST 800-171 requirements. Instead of retrofitting your entire enterprise IT environment, an enclave creates a compliant boundary around CUI workloads.
Enclaves dramatically reduce your CMMC scope — only the enclave and its users are assessed. For the full 110-control requirements see our NIST 800-171 Guide at quzara.com/guides/nist-800-171. For assessment preparation see quzara.com/cmmc/audit-preparation. All CMMC resources at quzara.com/cmmc/hub.
Why Choose an Enclave Approach
The enclave approach solves the biggest challenge in CMMC compliance: scope. Without an enclave, your entire corporate IT environment may be in scope — every workstation, server, network device, and application that touches CUI. With an enclave, you isolate CUI into a dedicated environment with controlled boundaries. Only the enclave and its users require CMMC assessment. This reduces implementation complexity, assessment cost, timeline, and provides a cleaner security boundary that is easier to monitor and defend.
Enclave Architecture & Inheritable Controls
Quzara Cybertorch enclaves run on Azure Government at DoD IL-4, providing FedRAMP High Authorized infrastructure with inheritable CMMC Level 2 controls. The enclave includes Microsoft 365 GCC High, Azure Sentinel SIEM, Defender XDR, and 24/7 SOC monitoring by U.S.-citizen analysts. A formal Shared Responsibility Matrix documents which controls are satisfied by the provider.
Enclave Deployment Process
From initial scoping through operational CUI enclave in weeks, not months.1
CUI Scoping Workshop
Identify CUI data types, flows, and users. Define boundaries. Determine inherited vs org-implemented controls.
2
Environment Provisioning
Deploy Azure Government enclave with GCC High, Sentinel, Defender XDR. Configure segmentation and DLP.
3
Control Implementation
Implement org-specific controls. Configure access control, MFA, audit logging, and encryption.
4
Shared Responsibility Matrix
Document inherited vs org controls. The SRM is critical for C3PAO assessment.
5
User Onboarding & Training
Migrate CUI users and workloads. Conduct training. Verify all data flows are contained.
6
Continuous Monitoring
Cybertorch SOC monitors 24/7. NISTCompliance.ai tracks compliance. Evidence ready for C3PAO.
CMMC Enclave FAQ
How does an enclave reduce scope?
Only the enclave and its users are assessed — not your entire corporate network. Dramatically reduces scope.
What infrastructure is included?
Microsoft 365 GCC High, Azure Government (DoD IL-4), Sentinel SIEM, Defender XDR, encrypted storage, 24/7 SOC.
How many controls can I inherit?
Organizations typically inherit 40-60% of the 110 controls through the Shared Responsibility Matrix.
How long does deployment take?
Initial provisioning 2-4 weeks. Full operational readiness 6-12 weeks including user migration.
More cost-effective?
Significantly. An enclave focuses investment on a purpose-built environment vs remediating every enterprise system.
Can I use it for FedRAMP too?
Yes. Cybertorch enclave is FedRAMP High Authorized, supporting both CMMC and FedRAMP simultaneously.
