Case Studies: Real Outcomes for Regulated Industries
Structured Microsoft 365 environments delivering measurable compliance, security, and operational outcomes across defense, tribal enterprise, industrial, construction, and non-profit organizations.
Anchoring Federal Readiness with Praesidium
First, regulated organizations need a secure Microsoft 365 foundation before they can pursue sensitive federal work with confidence. However, many small and mid-sized contractors do not have the internal capacity to build GCC High correctly on their own. Therefore, this featured case study shows how Praesidium helped one organization accelerate compliance readiness while reducing operational complexity.
JetCo Solutions: Turnkey GCC High Enclave Delivers 82% NIST 800-171 Readiness
A veteran-owned small business needed federal contract eligibility without expanding internal IT headcount. As a result, Jadex delivered a pre-configured Microsoft 365 GCC High enclave aligned to CMMC Level 3 and NIST 800-171. In addition, the environment was handed off audit-ready, with internal team ownership from day one.
- 82% NIST 800-171 controls implemented at handoff
- 81% CMMC Level 3 alignment at handoff
- Zero Trust, EDR, and automated retention configured
Outcomes by Platform
Each case study is mapped to the Jadex platform that anchored the engagement. Additionally, every story shows how a structured Microsoft 365 strategy can improve security, collaboration, governance, compliance readiness, or operational performance. As a result, leaders can compare practical outcomes and identify the path that best matches their current environment.
