Cloud & As-a-Service Β· CMMC and CPCSC Enclaves

CMMC and CPCSC Enclaves,
Managed for Defence Suppliers.

A managed, isolated environment for controlled information, engineered to support CMMC Level 2 and CPCSC Level 2, with secure Citrix desktops so CUI never touches user devices.

Plan My EnclaveSee How It Works

What Is a CMMC and CPCSC Enclave?

A CMMC and CPCSC enclave is a separate, tightly controlled environment where defence suppliers store and work with controlled unclassified information (CUI). Users access it through secure Citrix sessions, so the data stays inside the boundary. Putting CUI in an enclave shrinks the scope of your assessment to the enclave instead of your whole company.

Enclaves are engineered to support CMMC Level 2 and CPCSC Level 2 controls based on NIST SP 800-171 and ITSP.10.171, and are hosted on infrastructure independently audited to SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018. Canadian-hosted by default.

CMMC and CPCSC Enclaves FAQ

What is a CMMC enclave?

An isolated environment where CUI is stored and processed, so your CMMC assessment scope is limited to the enclave.

Is the enclave CMMC certified?

CMMC certification is awarded to your organization, not a product. Altanora enclaves are engineered to support CMMC Level 2 and CPCSC Level 2 controls.

What is CPCSC?

The Canadian Program for Cyber Security Certification, based on ITSP.10.171, which aligns with NIST SP 800-171.

How long does onboarding take?

Typically 4 to 8 weeks, depending on scope and the number of users.

Where is the enclave hosted?

In Canada by default. For U.S. requirements, enclaves can also be designed on Azure Government or AWS GovCloud.

What is the status of CMMC in 2026?

CMMC Phase 1 self-assessments began in November 2025. In July 2026 the planned Phase 2 certification requirements were suspended pending a review, but DFARS 252.204-7012 and NIST SP 800-171 still apply.
