GCC High is Microsoft’s most secure cloud platform, built for organizations that handle sensitive government data—like defense contractors, tribal enterprises, and regulated industries. Unlike commercial Microsoft 365, GCC High is hosted exclusively in U.S. data centers and managed by screened U.S. personnel, meeting the strictest federal standards (FedRAMP High, DFARS, CMMC, NIST, ITAR, EAR, and more).
Choosing GCC High ensures your organization can meet federal requirements for handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and export-controlled data. But moving to GCC High isn’t just a technical migration—it’s a process that requires careful configuration, management, and proof of compliance for every control.
Praesidium’s 5-phase approach guides you step-by-step from initial assessment to full, audit-ready GCC High implementation. Each phase is designed to simplify compliance, clarify roles, and ensure you retain ownership of your secure enclave. With Praesidium, you get more than a migration—you get a turnkey journey to federal readiness, with expert support and clear outcomes at every stage.

Read MoreMSPs serving the Defense Industrial Base typically offer secure enclaves to help meet CMMC requirements, but not all enclaves are the same. Some are full business environments with integrated tools, while others are little more than secure file shares. Enclaves can be built on-premises using open-source technologies or in the cloud using IaaS, PaaS, or SaaS models. The choice matters because responsibility shifts as you move from SaaS to on-premises—the more control you have, the more compliance tasks you own. MSPs usually provide two options: they own and manage the environment (you rent it), or you own it and they manage everything. The second option offers more control but comes with higher cost, complexity, and accountability. Regardless of the model, you retain significant responsibility for compliance and remain 100% accountable under CMMC.
The main differences between AWS GovCloud, Google Assured Workloads, and Microsoft GCC High are straightforward. AWS GovCloud is strong for infrastructure and meets high compliance standards like ITAR and DoD SRG, but it’s complex to set up and doesn’t include built-in collaboration tools—you’ll need third party solutions for email and productivity. Google Assured Workloads is good for general compliance like FedRAMP and HIPAA, but it does not meet ITAR or DoD SRG requirements, so it cannot handle CUI and isn’t suitable for CMMC Level 2. Microsoft GCC High is designed specifically for defense contractors, supports DFARS, ITAR, and DoD SRG IL4, and integrates Microsoft 365 apps like Teams and SharePoint, making it the easiest option for collaboration and compliance. In short: GCC High is purpose-built for CMMC Level 2, AWS GovCloud works for infrastructure-heavy needs but adds complexity, and Google Assured Workloads isn’t viable for CUI today.
The main difference is that Praesidium is a turnkey GCC High solution designed for defense contractors who need CMMC Level 2 compliance, and it focuses on client empowerment. Unlike many industry offerings that provide only a basic enclave or keep you dependent on their services, Praesidium delivers a fully configured Microsoft 365 environment with security and compliance controls aligned to NIST 800-171 and DFARS. You own the environment, and we train you—or an MSP of your choice—to maintain, operate, and manage it confidently. This approach gives you visibility, control, and independence while ensuring compliance, instead of locking you into long-term reliance on a provider.
Praesidium helps a client succeed in a C3PAO audit by delivering a fully configured GCC High environment aligned to NIST 800-171 and DFARS, reducing compliance gaps before the audit begins. As we implement system configurations, we take screenshots, create documentation, and train stakeholders on each change—explaining how and why each implementation satisfies specific regulatory requirements. This ensures your team can confidently demonstrate compliance. To further prepare, we provide mock assessments that simulate the audit process, so you know exactly what to expect and can address any remaining issues before the official review.
See where you stand—and what it takes to prove compliance.
