1. Does this SKU include Microsoft licenses? 
No, this service covers the professional configuration and hardening of your existing licenses (e.g., M365 Business Premium, G3/G5, or E3/E5). 

2. How long does the assessment and hardening process take? 
Most environments are fully hardened and "Assessment Ready" within 2–4 weeks, depending on the complexity of your data footprint. 

3. Is this sufficient for CMMC Level 2 certification? 
This SKU prepares your technical environment for certification. A full CMMC audit also requires policy documentation and physical security, which we can address in our ESP Ultimate tier. 

4. Can this be performed on a standard (Commercial) M365 tenant? 
Yes. While we specialize in GCC High, we frequently harden Commercial tenants to meet NIST 800-171 and SOC 2 requirements. 

5. What is the main difference between this and "Standard" IT support? 
Standard support focuses on uptime. This SKU focuses on Defensibility. We ensure that every setting is configured to satisfy a legal or regulatory auditor.
