Export-Controlled Technical Data Handling in Microsoft 365
Export controls change how you select and configure Microsoft 365, and Microsoft states the customer remains the exporter who must assess cloud use.

Export controls change how you select and configure Microsoft 365, and Microsoft states the customer remains the exporter who must assess cloud use.

Small DIB contractors can contain cost and risk by drawing a tight CMMC boundary around the systems and people that handle FCI and CUI, then documenting that boundary with clear data-flow and access control decisions.

Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager offers NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC-aligned assessment templates that organize actions and evidence in Microsoft 365, useful for gap analysis and documentation across a CUI environment.

GCC High tenants reduce risk and operational drag when they retire AD FS and consolidate identity in Microsoft Entra ID, and the move intersects directly with NIST 800-171 and CMMC Level 2 evidence expectations for access control and identification and authentication.

ITAR puts identity, location, and key custody at the center of cloud design, which drives U.S.-person operations models, U.S.-based environments, and strict access and encryption patterns across Microsoft 365 and Azure.

CMMC Level 2 assessors expect complete audit coverage across your CUI boundary, so identify, collect, protect, retain, and review logs from identity, endpoints, networks, applications, cloud services, and security tools in line with NIST SP 800-171 AU controls.
