Access Control Layer

Cavalry Scout™

A locked-down virtual desktop access (VDA) browser that enforces how users access Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) inside the Cavalry Enclave™. Scout™ focuses on enforcing behavior — not just documenting it.

Why Access Control Matters

Most compliance issues don't come from malicious intent — they come from everyday user behavior that policies alone can't prevent.

File Downloads to Local Devices

Users save CUI files to unmanaged laptops or personal devices, creating uncontrolled copies of sensitive data outside your compliance boundary.

Copy-and-Paste Data Leakage

CUI is inadvertently pasted into non-compliant applications, personal email, messaging tools, or documents outside the secure environment.

Unmanaged Device Access

Users access sensitive data from personal devices, home computers, or unsecured networks — none of which are under your organization's control.

Uncontrolled Access Paths

Multiple ways to reach CUI make it impossible to document, control, or defend your access model during a C3PAO assessment.

Policies alone cannot reliably prevent these actions.
Cavalry Scout™ reduces risk by technically enforcing how access occurs — not just how it's described on paper.

How Scout™ Controls Access

Cavalry Scout™ provides a controlled virtual desktop access browser that connects directly to the Cavalry Enclave™. Users work normally — within guardrails that protect sensitive data.

Approved Endpoints Only

Access is restricted to approved endpoints. Users reach CUI only through paths you've authorized and can document for assessors.

No Local Data Storage

CUI cannot be downloaded to local devices. Sensitive data stays inside the enclave boundary at all times — no exceptions.

Restricted Clipboard & File Transfer

Copy, paste, and file movement behaviors are controlled to prevent accidental or intentional data leakage out of the enclave.

Access from Any Device — Securely

Users can remote into the enclave from an iPad or computer. The experience and security controls remain the same regardless of device.

Centralized Monitoring

All access is centrally logged and monitored, giving you the audit trail and evidence that assessors expect to see.

Audit-Defensible Design

Scout™ is designed so that access controls can be clearly explained and defended during a C3PAO assessment — not just documented.

Policy-Only vs. Technical Enforcement

Many organizations rely on written policies to control user behavior. Scout™ takes a fundamentally different approach.

Policy Alone

  • Relies on users to follow rules consistently
  • Data can still be downloaded, copied, or emailed
  • Access paths are difficult to verify and document
  • Harder to defend during assessment
  • Accidental spillage happens despite good intentions

Cavalry Scout™

  • Enforces behavior technically — not just administratively
  • Downloads, clipboard, and file movement are blocked
  • Every access path is controlled and documented
  • Clear, explainable, and defensible during assessment
  • Reduces risk of accidental spillage by design

Is Cavalry Scout™ Right for You?

Scout™ is an intentional access control layer — not a general remote desktop tool. Here's who it's designed for.

Scout Is Built for You If…

  • You handle CUI and need to control access paths
  • You have remote or hybrid users accessing sensitive data
  • You want to reduce insider and accidental risk
  • You want technical enforcement of policy, not just documentation
  • You're pursuing CMMC Level 2

Scout Is Not for You If…

  • You prioritize user flexibility over control
  • You want unrestricted remote desktop access
  • You expect custom access designs
  • You're unwilling to enforce usage discipline

Scout™ favors defensibility over convenience. That's intentional.

Independent by Design

Cavalry Scout™ is delivered as part of the Cavalry Enclave™ access model. No additional services are required.

Scout™ integrates with your existing business systems. It does not require you to purchase managed IT services, compliance consulting, or third-party security tools.

Each engagement is clearly scoped and designed to work alongside however your organization is already set up.

  • No managed IT purchase required
  • No compliance consulting purchase required
  • Works alongside your existing IT and compliance providers

Control Access Without Disrupting Work

If your organization needs to control how users access CUI — without relying solely on policy — Cavalry Scout™ provides a practical, defensible solution.
