Creating a CMMC enclave is a proven strategy for achieving compliance while minimizing disruption to an organization’s broader IT environment. However, the best approach to designing and managing an enclave depends heavily on the industry. A solution that works seamlessly for a manufacturing company may pose significant challenges for a university conducting regulated research or an AEC firm handling controlled design data. With varying needs in security, accessibility, and cost, how can organizations determine the right approach? This session will explore the unique enclave considerations for manufacturing, regulated research (higher education), and architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries. We’ll discuss the pros and cons of different deployment models, share lessons learned from real-world implementations, and provide actionable insights to help organizations make informed decisions about their compliance strategy.
