DEFENSE INDUSTRIAL BASE

Operate Securely and Remain Audit-Ready in the Defense Industrial Base

Jadex helps defense contractors establish secure, compliant, and audit-ready Microsoft environments aligned with CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, and DFARS requirements.

Why Organizations in the Defense Industrial Base Still Struggle

Most defense contractors understand compliance requirements. However, many struggle to translate those requirements into a structured, sustainable operating model. As a result, compliance efforts often become difficult to sustain over time.

CUI Boundaries Are Not Clearly Defined

Organizations often struggle to identify where Controlled Unclassified Information enters, resides, and moves. As a result, scope boundaries become difficult to defend during assessment.

Compliance Is Treated As Reactive

Teams often prepare for audits instead of maintaining continuous readiness. Consequently, compliance efforts become reactive rather than sustainable.

Documentation Does Not Match Implementation

Policies often do not reflect how teams actually configure and operate systems. As a result, documentation can diverge from operational reality.

Controls Lack Ownership

Without clear accountability, maintaining compliance becomes inconsistent. In addition, organizations struggle to demonstrate sustained control ownership.

GCC High Is Misunderstood

Organizations frequently underestimate the operational and administrative requirements. Therefore, implementations rarely deliver the expected outcomes without proper planning.

No Sustainable Compliance Model

Efforts are not designed to scale or be maintained over time.

The Jadex Approach to Defense Industry Compliance

Successful compliance in the Defense Industrial Base requires more than deploying technology. Instead, organizations need a structured approach that defines the environment, implements controls correctly, aligns documentation to reality, and enables internal teams to sustain compliance over time. As a result, compliance becomes operational rather than reactive.

01

CUI Boundary Identification & Scoping

Define and document a clear boundary around Controlled Unclassified Information. As a result, the organization can defend scope decisions during assessment.

02

GCC High Environment Design

Architect a Microsoft 365 GCC High environment that aligns with CMMC requirements and supports secure collaboration. Furthermore, the design establishes a foundation for long-term compliance.

03

Control Implementation & Configuration

Implement security controls across identity, endpoints, data protection, and monitoring. Consequently, the environment aligns more closely with regulatory expectations.

04

Documentation & Evidence Alignment

Ensure policies, procedures, and evidence accurately reflect the real configuration and operation of the environment. In turn, assessors can more easily validate compliance claims.

05

Operational Security & Governance

Establish ownership, accountability, and governance structures. As a result, teams can maintain compliance more consistently over time.

06

Continuous Audit Readiness

Transition from reactive compliance preparation to a continuously maintained, audit-ready operating posture. Ultimately, organizations reduce assessment risk and improve operational confidence.

What We Help Defense Contractors Achieve

The Jadex approach transforms compliance from a fragmented effort into a structured operating model that supports audit readiness, operational control, and long-term contract success.

Defined, Defensible CUI Boundaries

Clearly scope and isolate Controlled Unclassified Information in a way that is explainable and defensible during assessment.

Structured GCC High Environments

Operate within a properly designed Microsoft 365 GCC High tenant aligned to regulatory and operational requirements.

Audit-Ready Documentation & Evidence

Maintain policies, procedures, and artifacts that accurately reflect how your environment is configured and operated.

Operational Compliance Readiness

Move from reactive preparation to a sustainable compliance model that can be maintained continuously.

Clear Ownership of Controls

Establish accountability across teams so controls are consistently implemented, monitored, and maintained.

Long-Term Contract Confidence

Support federal contract eligibility with a secure, compliant, and defensible operational posture.

Prepare Your Organization for CMMC & Audit Readiness

Defense contractors require more than isolated controls or one-time preparation. Jadex helps organizations establish secure environments, align compliance to real operations, and maintain audit readiness through structured, defensible systems.
