Getting CMMC Right in Microsoft
How Small & Mid-Sized Contractors Can Reduce Complexity & Cost
Choosing a Microsoft cloud is one of the first, and often most expensive, decisions a defense contractor makes on the way to CMMC. Commercial, GCC, and GCC High support different requirements and licenses at very different price points. For a small team, the wrong choice can mean paying for more than you need, taking on more responsibility than you thought, or rebuilding your environment once a contract requires a higher level of cybersecurity.
In this session, Richard Wakeman, Chief Security Architect for the Defense Industrial Base at Microsoft, walks through how to make the decisions about cloud offerings, licensing, and enclaves or enterprise with cost and complexity in mind. Secureframe CEO Shrav Mehta will also show how Secureframe Defense helps contractors get up and running in GCC High and Azure faster, and keep their environment compliant once they're there.
What we’ll cover:
- Which Microsoft cloud offerings the DIB are choosing between and why GCC High is the most common
- How shared responsibility changes in Microsoft depending on your cloud, license, and CMMC level
- How Microsoft 365 Business Premium compares to other GCC High licenses for SMBs
- The benefits and tradeoffs of a GCC High enclave versus moving your entire business to GCC High
- How an enclave with automated provisioning and virtual desktop or MDM options plus continuous GRC work together to simplify CMMC in GCC High
For owners, IT leads and compliance managers at small and midsize defense contractors, subcontractors and service providers deciding how to set up Microsoft for CMMC.
