CUI Enclave

Segmented environment designed to contain all CUI processing, limiting the scope of CMMC or NIST SP 800-171 compliance.

Definition

An enclave may be an on-premises segment, a virtual desktop environment, or a cloud tenant such as a government community cloud. Enclaving reduces cost and complexity by keeping most of the enterprise out of scope, but requires strong boundary controls and user discipline.

Example

Engineers access CUI drawings only through a dedicated VDI enclave in a GCC High tenant.

Exam tip

Effective scoping through enclaves is one of the biggest cost levers in CMMC.
