CMMC Enclave Strategy vs Full Environment Compliance

The document explains two approaches to CMMC compliance—building a secure enclave versus securing the full environment—detailing how scope boundaries affect cost, complexity, operational disruption, monitoring, and scalability. It outlines benefits and drawbacks of each model, provides decision criteria (budget, workforce, risk profile, growth pace, and CUI volume), and notes that many organizations may switch strategies as needs evolve. The piece is advisory in nature and promotes Ignyte’s services and platform for implementing and managing compliance.
