Cavalry Enclave™
A pre-engineered Microsoft GCC or GCC High enclave designed to define where Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) lives, how it is accessed, and how compliance scope is reduced by design.

Rather than securing your entire business IT environment, the Cavalry Enclave™ establishes a clearly defined compliance boundary where sensitive work is performed.
What the Enclave Does
Cavalry Enclave™ is a dedicated Microsoft GCC or GCC High environment built specifically for organizations that must handle CUI under CMMC Level 2.
- Isolates CUI from non-CUI systems completely
- Applies security controls consistently across all clients
- Reduces audit scope and assessment complexity
- Avoids rebuilding your entire IT infrastructure
- Access CUI securely from an iPad or computer via Cavalry Scout™
Why Organizations Use an Enclave
Many organizations struggle with CMMC because CUI is scattered across user laptops, shared file systems, email platforms, and unmanaged cloud services. This creates unnecessary scope, complexity, and risk.
Cavalry Enclave™ solves this by centralizing CUI into a controlled environment with defined access paths and standardized controls. Instead of asking "How do we secure everything?" — the question becomes "Where should CUI live, and who should access it?"
The Scope Reduction Advantage
When CUI lives only in the cloud enclave — not on laptops, not on shared drives, not in your general email — what falls under CMMC scope shrinks dramatically. On-premise CUI brings enormous scope implications, including printing, storage, and access controls for every device that touches it. The Enclave sidesteps this entirely.
Built for Compliance, Not Convenience
The Enclave uses a standardized architecture and security baseline. This consistency is intentional — and critical for defensibility.
Isolated Tenant Architecture
The enclave operates as a separate Microsoft GCC or GCC High tenant, fully isolated from your general business IT environment.
Controlled User Access
Users access the enclave through Cavalry Scout™, ensuring CUI is only reached through approved, monitored paths.
Hardened Baseline Configurations
Every enclave is built with the same hardened baseline aligned to CMMC Level 2 technical requirements. No customization — by design.
Centralized Logging & Monitoring
Continuous monitoring and centralized logging ensure system behavior remains consistent and auditable at all times.
How the Enclave Simplifies CMMC
By defining a clear CUI boundary, the Cavalry Enclave™ transforms how your organization approaches assessment and documentation.
Scoped CMMC Controls
Controls apply only to the enclave — not your entire business. This means fewer systems to document, fewer devices to manage, and fewer people in scope.
Focused Evidence Collection
Evidence gathering is simpler when you know exactly where CUI lives. The enclave makes your SSP and POA&M documentation clearer and more defensible.
Simplified Assessment
Assessors can clearly understand what is in scope, how access is controlled, and where CUI is stored. This typically allows assessments to be conducted remotely, faster, and at lower cost.
Ongoing Compliance Maintenance
Security Cavalry provides monthly monitoring, maintenance, and ongoing evidence gathering — so your compliance posture remains defensible between assessments.
What the Enclave Does Not Do
Clarity about what we are — and what we aren't — is part of how we earn your trust.
- It is not a general-purpose IT environment or a replacement for your business systems
- It is not a consulting engagement or a compliance documentation service
- It does not guarantee certification — no vendor can
- It does not remove the need for policies, procedures, and governance
- CUI cannot be printed or downloaded to local machines from the enclave
Is an Enclave the Right Fit?
If your organization needs a secure, auditable environment for handling CUI — without expanding compliance scope unnecessarily — let's talk through how it works.
