Managed IT Services Built for CMMC Level 2 Compliance
You own it. We Manage it.
Edge Compliance is a managed IT services provider focused on supporting defense contractors operating within the Defense Industrial Base. Our team brings over 75 years of combined experience in cybersecurity operations, IT management, and regulatory compliance. We design and manage secure, scalable IT environments that meet CMMC Level 2 requirements while supporting real-world business operations. From purpose-built CUI enclaves to fully managed IT environments, we help organizations reduce risk, maintain compliance, and remain contract-ready as requirements evolve.
How Our Services Are Designed
CMMC compliance succeeds when you clearly define and enforce responsibilities. The level of ongoing compliance effort depends on how frequently systems are used, not just how they are designed. Edge Compliance structures its service models around how your environment is used day to day and how much responsibility you want to retain internally.
Every Edge Compliance service tier is built on:
- A Microsoft GCC High baseline
- Secure identity, access, and device management
- Embedded compliance controls and documentation
- Clearly defined responsibilities between Edge Compliance and your team
No matter which tier you’re on, YOU OWN YOUR ENVIRONMENT. Edge Compliance designs, configures, and manages it on your behalf, but the tenant, the data, and the compliance environment BELONG TO YOU from day one. If you ever bring IT in-house or move to another provider, your environment goes with you fully intact, with no rebuild required.
From purpose-limited enclave use to fully outsourced IT operations, our services scale with your operational needs while maintaining compliance at every stage.
Our Managed CMMC Service Tiers
Staged Onramp | Pre-CUI Readiness
A staged compliance onramp for organizations not yet handling CUI but needing a structured path to CMMC Level 2 Compliance. Edge Compliance builds baseline safeguarding controls in defined stages and moves clients toward Core as their CUI exposure grows, without requiring a full enclave commitment up front.
Best for:
Small defense contractors and subcontractors with FCI only, no CUI yet
Organizations early in their compliance maturity
Companies that want a lower cost entry point with a clear, predictable path to CMMC Level 2
Edge Compliance manages:
Stage 1, Landing Zone: foundational account structure and security controls for handling Federal Contract Information
Stage 2, Level 1 Safeguarding: expanded controls aligned to FAR 52.204-21 as FCI handling matures
A defined, priced transition into Core once the client begins handling CUI
Client responsibility:
All business operations and systems outside the Foundations scope
Notifying Edge Compliance when CUI handling begins, to trigger the move into Core
This tier gives early-stage defense contractors a structured, affordable way to build compliance maturity before CUI enters their environment, with a clear path forward the moment it does.
Purpose-Built | Non-Operational Use
A purpose-limited environment for handling CUI occasionally. Edge Compliance designs and manages the enclave and CMMC compliance baseline without impacting daily business operations.
Best for:
Small defense contractors and subcontractors
Limited CUI usage (proposals, controlled documentation)
Organizations with existing IT that does not touch CUI
Edge Compliance manages:
A dedicated GCC High enclave
Identity, access controls, and device onboarding
CMMC Level 2 baseline documentation and compliance tooling
Client responsibility:
Use of the enclave
All non-CUI systems and operations
This tier provides a managed, purpose-limited IT environment that satisfies CMMC Level 2 requirements without forcing a full operational migration.
Operational Environment | Outsourced IT
A fully outsourced model where Edge Compliance operates the IT environment and manages the CMMC compliance program end to end. Edge Compliance holds technical execution responsibility, while the client retains governance and the legal and regulatory obligations that remain with the covered contractor.
Best for:
- Organizations without internal IT staff
- Companies operating primarily or entirely within GCC High
- Teams that want day to day compliance operations handled for them
Edge Compliance manages:
- The entire IT environment
- Security operations, monitoring, and threat detection
- CMMC documentation, reporting, and audit readiness
- Ongoing IT support and incident response
Client responsibility:
- Running the business, and the legal and regulatory obligations that come with holding the contract
This fully managed IT service is continuously maintained, monitored, and kept compliance ready by Edge Compliance, within the responsibility structure defined in your service agreement.
Built-In Compliance - NOT Add-On Services
All service tiers include:
– System design that builds toward CMMC Level 2 compliance, appropriate to the client’s current stage
– Identity and access management aligned to the client’s current FCI or CUI safeguarding requirements
– Documentation and evidence management
– A defined, scalable pathway to certification and audit readiness
Compliance is embedded into the environment from day one and maintained as part of daily IT operations.
Designed to Scale With Your Business
Many clients start with a Foundations landing zone, move into a managed CUI enclave under Core as their compliance needs grow, and scale into co-managed or fully managed IT under Command or Enterprise as their operational needs evolve.
Our service model allows you to:
- Start where you are
- Scale without re-architecting
- Maintain compliance as your business grows
