Licensing, migration, and secure cloud engineering for the Defense Industrial Base.
Microsoft 365 and Azure are where CUI actually lives, so the shape of your tenant, the license SKUs behind it, and how your data got there determine whether CMMC, DFARS 252.204-7012, and ITAR obligations are met or missed. Maverc runs the full lifecycle: sourcing the right government-cloud licensing, standing up the tenant, migrating from commercial M365, Google Workspace, or on-prem, and engineering Azure Government workloads on top — with the CMMC-aligned hardening baked in from day one.
GCC High is a different cloud, not a license flip. It has its own identity plane, its own service endpoints, feature-parity gaps with commercial M365, and eligibility requirements Microsoft validates before provisioning. We cover all of it: government-cloud licensing (GCC High, GCC, Azure Government, Azure Government Secret) and commercial M365 where it belongs; migration from commercial M365, Exchange on-prem, or Google Workspace into GCC High; and Azure Government engineering for Virtual Desktop, remote access, and database workloads that also need to sit inside the boundary. The outcome is a defensible CUI enclave with runbooks your admins and your assessor can both follow.
Each engagement is scoped to your environment — these are the building blocks we draw from.
Most contractors overspend on GCC High for users who never touch CUI, or underspend and end up out of compliance. We map every user, workload, and data flow to the correct SKU across GCC High, GCC, Azure Government, Azure Government Secret, and commercial M365 — so you pay for what the mission requires and nothing more.
Commercial M365 to GCC High, on-prem Exchange / SharePoint / file shares to Microsoft 365, Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 — we run all three with permissions, calendars, and Teams chat continuity intact. Coexistence is designed up front so mail flow and free/busy survive the cutover and the source tenant decommissions cleanly.
CUI-adjacent workloads — virtual desktops, jump hosts, line-of-business apps, and databases — belong inside the boundary too. We design Azure Government landing zones with hub-and-spoke networking, ExpressRoute or point-to-site VPN, Azure Virtual Desktop for contractor and remote access, and database migration for SQL / PostgreSQL / MySQL so the whole CUI workflow lives in one accredited environment.
A raw GCC High tenant is not compliant. We layer the CMMC-required controls — conditional access, phishing-resistant MFA, Intune baselines, Defender, Purview DLP, sensitivity labels, audit retention, and Sentinel in Azure Government — so the enclave meets NIST 800-171 on the day the last user cuts over.
Many commercial SaaS integrations don't exist or aren't authorized in GCC High. We rationalize the app portfolio, identify FedRAMP-authorized alternatives, and re-plumb integrations (CRM, ERP, ticketing, e-signature) so business processes survive the move.
Clear, executive-grade artifacts your team, your auditors, and your customers can actually use.
From a focused point-in-time test to continuous offensive coverage — pick the model that fits your maturity.
The right government-cloud SKUs for every user and workload.
Contractors sizing (or resizing) their government-cloud footprint before an assessment or renewal.
Move mail, files, and collaboration into the compliant boundary.
DIB primes and subs that need CUI in GCC High without a productivity cliff during cutover.
Extend the boundary to virtual desktops, remote access, and databases.
Contractors whose CUI workflow extends beyond email and files into line-of-business apps and remote users.
Validate GCC High / Azure Government eligibility, size the right licensing mix across GCC High, GCC, Azure Gov, and commercial, and design tenant, identity, and Azure landing-zone architecture.
Stand up the tenant and Azure Government subscription, configure Entra ID, conditional access, Intune, Defender, Sentinel, and Purview DLP against CMMC and DFARS control mappings.
Move mailboxes, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, on-prem file shares, Google Workspace content, and Azure workloads in coordinated waves — permissions, calendar, and Teams chat continuity preserved.
Hand off runbooks, monitor the enclave and Azure Government workloads, tune DLP and conditional access, and integrate with continuous controls monitoring for ongoing CMMC readiness.
Typical mid-market migrations run 8 to 16 weeks from eligibility validation to final cutover, depending on user count, data volume, third-party integrations, and whether identity is greenfield or hybrid AD.
No. Most contractors move only the users, mailboxes, and workloads that actually touch CUI, keeping the rest of the business on commercial M365. We size the licensing mix so the enclave stays small and the assessment surface stays manageable.
GCC is FedRAMP Moderate, designed for federal, state, local, and tribal governments and their contractors handling non-CUI government data. GCC High is FedRAMP High / DoD IL5, required when handling CUI, ITAR, or DFARS 252.204-7012 covered defense information. Most DIB contractors need GCC High; many state and local contractors only need GCC.
Yes. We design and deploy Azure Government landing zones, Azure Virtual Desktop, ExpressRoute / point-to-site remote access, and database migrations (SQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL) so the whole CUI workflow — not just mail and files — sits inside the accredited boundary.
Yes. We preserve primary SMTP addresses through the cutover using coexistence, split-domain mail flow, and DNS sequencing so external senders and recipients see no disruption.
We migrate mail, calendar, contacts, and Drive content from Google Workspace into GCC High mailboxes, OneDrive, and SharePoint, preserving permissions and folder structures.
No. Feature parity trails commercial by 6 to 18 months in some areas, and some third-party apps are not authorized. We inventory the gaps up front and plan around them so you're not surprised post-cutover.
