Size

Mid-sized enterprise supporting U.S. government clients

Challenge

Urgent need to migrate to a compliant, secure cloud environment to meet federal requirements and win new contracts

Makwa Global faced a critical inflection point. Federal contracts now required strict cybersecurity compliance, and their legacy IT environment lacked the controls, documentation, and auditability demanded by DFARS, NIST 800-171, and CMMC. Without a compliant solution, they risked losing access to government opportunities, exposing sensitive data, and failing audits.

“Jadex Strategic Group’s expertise in GCC High and federal compliance was instrumental in our successful transition. Their hands-on training, clear documentation, and strategic guidance gave us confidence to pursue new government contracts.”

— Makwa Global Executive

The stakes were high:

Business Risk & Security Exposure: Inability to bid on or retain federal contracts, increased risk of data breaches, and non-compliance penalties

Reputational Threat: Potential loss of trust with government clients

Operational Bottlenecks: Inefficient collaboration and manual processes

Jadex stepped in not just to deploy Microsoft 365 GCC High, but to transform Makwa’s compliance posture into a competitive advantage.

The Solution

Jadex began with a clearly defined scope of work, covering licensing, tenant build-out, configuration, and alignment with federal standards. The team provisioned and secured a Microsoft 365 GCC High tenant, implemented Zero Trust controls, and integrated device, application, and identity management.

✅ Delivered tailored training modules for staff and leadership (cybersecurity fundamentals, OPSEC, situational awareness)

✅ Created comprehensive compliance documentation and supported policy/process creation

✅ Guided Makwa Global through attestation processes, ensuring all controls were documented and testable

✅ Provided managed security services, strategic compliance advisory, and transition planning for continuity

Jadex’s approach ensured Makwa Global was prepared for evolving compliance needs and future opportunities.
