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.
