Reduce your CMMC compliance costs by setting up an enclave

When you start your CMMC certification project, it's very important to clearly identify the scope of the project, the systems and users included, and those that need to be out of scope. If you don't, your entire IT infrastructure and all your users will be included in the CMMC scope, which will greatly increase your costs.

Here's the best strategy for reducing your CMMC compliance costs.

Set up a CMMC enclave

Once you've defined the scope of your CMMC project (the systems and users included, the CUI flows, the security tools put in place to protect your CUIs, etc.), you have the option of isolating this environment from the rest of your network. Isolation can be physical or virtual.

Ultimately, you create a bubble (also known as a CMMC enclave) whose access is restricted only to those systems and users who need access to CUI. No user or system outside the enclave can access the CUI.

There are several ways to set up a CMMC enclave:

• Setting up an internal enclave. Isolation can be physical or logical. 
• Subscribing to a Cloud CMMC enclave provider. Important: make sure this provider's Cloud is FedRAMP Moderate or High authorized.

During your CMMC certification audit, the auditor will check only this CMMC enclave.
