IT Management for Defense Contractors.

AgileThrive keeps your compliance current. AgileDefend keeps your environment running. Some defense contractors need one. Many need both.

Planning the Work and Doing the Work Aren’t the Same Thing.

AgileThrive

Maintaining your compliance posture between assessments.

AgileDefend

Maintaining your compliant Microsoft 365 environment day to day.

If Your Environment Needs Someone Actively Maintaining It, This Is AgileDefend.

AgileDefend provides ongoing managed services that keep your Microsoft 365 environment secure and your CMMC compliance posture intact. Microsoft Defender, email protection, Entra ID and Conditional Access, Intune, Sentinel, and more, managed continuously rather than configured once and left alone.

Passing Once Isn't the Same as Staying Compliant. This Is AgileThrive.

AgileThrive provides the ongoing compliance operations that keep you certified between assessments. Gap assessments, SSP maintenance, GRC tooling, and living policies and procedures, built specifically for defense contractors under CMMC, GCC High, and federal requirements. Your controls stay validated, your POA&Ms get closed, and your documentation matches your environment, so when it’s time to attest, you’re signing with confidence, not crossing your fingers.

What is a CMMC enclave, and why would I need one?

A CMMC enclave is a segmented IT environment used specifically for handling Controlled Unclassified Information. Instead of applying CMMC requirements to your entire infrastructure, an enclave limits the compliance boundary, making it faster, cheaper, and easier to meet CMMC 2.0 standards. 

No, an enclave isn’t required, but it’s often the most efficient and cost-effective approach for organizations that only handle CUI in specific roles or departments. By using an enclave, you reduce the number of systems and users in scope for your audit. 

Yes. CMMC enclaves can be deployed on-premises, in a virtualized private cloud, or in a compliant public cloud environment such as Microsoft GCC High or Azure Government. The choice depends on your business needs and IT strategy. 

The timeline depends on your current infrastructure, the complexity of your environment, and how much preparation has already been done. For many defense contractors, Agile IT can help plan, implement, and validate a CMMC enclave in a matter of weeks. 

Our CMMC Enclave service includes: 

  • CUI data flow discovery and scoping 
  • Network segmentation and boundary design 
  • Deployment of compliant controls including access, encryption, and logging 
  • User training and documentation 
  • Ongoing support and updates as part of a managed offering, if needed 

Agile IT is a four-time Microsoft Partner of the Year, one of the original six authorized AOS-G partners, and a CMMC Registered Provider Organization (RPO). We’ve helped hundreds of organizations meet federal cybersecurity requirements by combining Microsoft cloud expertise with practical compliance strategies. 

Costs vary depending on infrastructure size, licensing, and scope. Implementing a focused enclave is usually appreciably more affordable than applying CMMC controls across your entire network.
