CUI Identification & Compliance Scoping Advisory

• Contractual Data Analysis: Expert review of your DoD contracts and DFARS clauses (252.204-7012, 7019, 7020) to pinpoint specific CUI requirements. 
• Comprehensive Data Mapping: Visualizing the lifecycle of CUI as it enters, moves through, and leaves your organization via email, M365, and local storage. 
• M365 Purview & Sensitivity Labeling: Technical integration of Microsoft Purview to automate the discovery and tagging of CUI across your tenant. 
• Asset Categorization: Definitive classification of CUI Assets, Security Protection Assets, and Out-of-Scope Assets according to the CMMC Scoping Guide. 
• Enclave Strategy Development: Architectural design of "CUI Enclaves" (such as Azure GCC High) to isolate regulated data and minimize your assessment footprint. 

• Minimize Compliance Costs: By narrowing your scope, you reduce the number of users and devices requiring high-level licensing and rigorous auditing. 
• Audit-Ready Documentation: Receive a finalized System Security Plan (SSP) draft and a detailed Network Diagram—the two most essential artifacts for a C3PAO assessment. 
• Eliminate Regulatory Risk: Identify "dark data" in shadow IT or legacy systems before it leads to a breach or a failed SPRS self-attestation. 
• Accelerated SPRS Scoring: Gain the clarity needed to accurately calculate and submit your NIST 800-171 assessment score to the DoD.

1. What is the primary goal of a Scoping Advisory?  
The goal is to define your "Assessment Boundary." This ensures you are only protecting and auditing the systems that touch CUI, saving you significant time and money. 

2. Does this advisory include the actual implementation of security controls? 
This SKU focuses on the Identification and Strategy phase. However, it provides the mandatory roadmap (SSP and Boundary) required for our technical team to implement controls in your environment. 

3. Is this service compliant with the new NIST 800-171 Rev 3 standards?  
Yes. Our methodology is updated to reflect the latest Revision 3 controls, including enhanced focus on supply chain risk and external service provider (ESP) oversight. 

4. Will this help me with my SPRS score?  
Absolutely. You cannot accurately report a score to the DoD without first knowing your scope. This advisory provides the foundational data needed for a precise SPRS submission. 

5. How long does the scoping process take?  
While it varies by organization size, a standard engagement typically concludes in 2 to 4 weeks, providing you with a clear, documented path to CMMC certification.
