What’s Included
A managed enclave operating model, not just licenses and settings
Office Heroes CMMC Enclave is a standardized managed service built around a fixed control baseline. It is designed to give defense contractors a defined place to handle CUI inside a client-dedicated Microsoft 365 GCC High tenant with managed controls, review workflows, and evidence support.
This is not just a tenant configuration exercise. It is a managed operating model for regulated work.
The enclave is one fixed core standard with managed delivery
The Office Heroes CMMC Enclave standard is built as one core product with supported operating modes. The fixed core standard defines the universal architectural, administrative, identity, access control, boundary, monitoring, documentation, and evidence requirements that apply to every supported deployment.
That means the product is designed to be repeatable, supportable, and consistent across clients rather than reinvented from scratch for each environment.
Access control and administrative structure are part of the baseline
The enclave includes the core identity and access model used to control who is allowed into the enclave, how access is approved, and how administrative responsibilities are separated.
Included items:
- Microsoft Entra ID access control model
- MFA enforcement for enclave access
- Conditional Access enforcement
- approved role and group assignment model
- privileged access separation
- approval-based access assignment
- formal onboarding and offboarding workflow support
- periodic access review workflow support
The goal is controlled access, clear approvals, and a more supportable administrative model for regulated work.
Monitoring, protection, and managed security controls are built into the model
The enclave standard includes the managed security baseline used to protect enclave components and support ongoing operations.
Included items:
- logging and monitoring sources for enclave operations
- alert review and response coordination workflow
- endpoint detection and response
- DNS-layer protection
- backup controls for supported enclave components
- administrative activity visibility
- standardized review processes tied to enclave operations
These protections are part of the managed service baseline and are not treated as optional add-ons inside the standard product model.
The product includes the structure needed to define and maintain the enclave boundary
A major part of the product is not only applying controls but defining the scope they apply to.
The enclave includes the boundary-based operating model used to identify:
- which users are approved for enclave access
- which systems and services are in scope
- where CUI is permitted to exist
- which storage and workloads are approved
- which external connections are documented and controlled
- which security services provide protection for enclave components
This is what helps reduce CUI sprawl and makes the enclave easier to explain and support over time.
Documentation support is part of the operating model
The enclave standard includes a documentation and evidence structure designed to support consistent operations and assessment readiness.
Included areas:
- enclave boundary definition support
- system documentation structure
- shared responsibility model
- documented procedures for account provisioning, termination, privileged access, and access review
- evidence-oriented review workflows
- approved implementation records and client-specific appendices where permitted
- documentation structure that supports assessment preparation and operational continuity
The purpose is to operate a controlled environment that can be explained clearly, reviewed consistently, and supported through evidence.
The core baseline does not change by client
The Office Heroes CMMC Enclave standard is intended to remain fixed at the core level. The architecture, baseline controls, monitoring requirements, review workflows, documentation model, and non-negotiable security requirements are not rewritten for each client.
Client-specific details are handled through approved implementation variables, appendices, and documented selections inside the limits of the standard.
- Fixed core product standard
- Supported operating modes
- Controlled client-specific implementation details
Some implementation details change based on the selected operating mode
While the baseline stays fixed, the selected operating mode affects how the standard is implemented.
That can include:
- whether CUI stays only in cloud desktops or is also authorized on approved local endpoints
- which users and devices are in scope
- which workloads are approved for CUI
- which appendices and implementation details are required
- how inventories, policy assignments, and boundary records are documented
The product remains one standard offering. The selected mode determines how that standard is applied.
What is included does not eliminate your responsibilities
The enclave includes managed technical controls and operational support, but it does not replace your role in business decisions and approvals.
You still own
- user approval decisions
- device approval decisions
- data classification decisions
- business ownership of sites, data, and workflows
- external sharing decisions
- business-impact decisions tied to operations
Office Heroes provides
- technical implementation and operation of the managed enclave controls
- monitoring and review workflows
- backup and administrative processes within the service scope
- documentation structure and evidence support tied to enclave operations
Microsoft provides
- inherited controls within Microsoft’s documented service boundaries
A strong enclave depends on the managed baseline and a clear division of responsibility.
What’s included is more than licensing, but licensing still matters
Microsoft licensing is part of the baseline because the standard enclave model is built for a client-dedicated Microsoft 365 GCC High tenant.
But licensing by itself does not make an organization compliant.
The product includes the managed controls, operational processes, boundary discipline, and evidence-oriented workflows that sit on top of the licensed platform.
A more practical way to support secure, controlled, audit-ready operations
For the right buyer, the value is not only the technology stack. It is the combination of:
- a defined place for regulated work
- a clearer CUI boundary
- a standardized managed operating model
- consistent technical control operation
- stronger documentation and evidence discipline
- a more supportable path inside GCC High
