SecureEnclave™ for CUI

Build your CMMC operating plan.

Start with the defense work you need to perform. Identify the people, applications, and production systems that handle CUI, then assess whether a focused SecureEnclave™ boundary can support that work.

Need the background first? Read how CUI, NIST, contracts, and CMMC connect.

Scope follows the workflow

Trace CUI through production.

A manufacturing boundary can reach from contract intake through CAD/CAM, production, inspection, delivery, and sustainment. The final assessment scope depends on the real information path, asset categorization, architecture, documentation, and the applicable assessment.

  1. Receive

    Contract requirements, customer communications, technical data, drawings, and supplier exchanges enter through approved paths.

  2. Engineer

    Selected identities, workstations, CAD/CAE/CAM tools, PLM or PDM services, storage, printers, and collaboration support the design workflow.

  3. Plan and produce

    ERP or MRP, MES, work instructions, production equipment, OT or IIoT connections, and legacy systems may become dependencies when the work touches them.

  4. Inspect and test

    Quality records, inspection systems, test equipment, results, and authorized personnel continue the information path.

  5. Deliver and sustain

    Approved transfers, supplier collaboration, administration, retention, recovery, support, and continuing access remain governed through the life of the work.

Architecture options

When an enclave fits.

The information path identifies the people, systems, and services the design must account for. The next question is whether that work can fit within a focused boundary. User count alone does not decide fit.

Focused enclave review

The workflow is clearly defined.

  • A selected group of people and systems performs the covered workflow.
  • Commercial and defense work can be separated through an approved physical or logical design.
  • Required applications, production dependencies, and external paths can be identified and supported.
  • The organization can assign policy, authorization, incident, evidence, and operating responsibilities.

Broader architecture review

The boundary needs more work.

  • CUI is widespread across identities, systems, sites, or business processes.
  • Production and enterprise services cannot yet be separated or their dependencies remain unknown.
  • Customer, supplier, remote-work, cloud, or managed-service paths have not been mapped.
  • The organization is still determining applicable contract clauses, assessment scope, or operating authority and responsibilities.

Both paths can begin with a planning brief. The wizard returns a conversation profile, not a readiness score or assessment conclusion.

From planning to the platform

Put the boundary to work.

For a workflow that fits a supported configuration, SecureEnclave™ brings approved applications, identities, and safeguards into a maintained environment. Continue to the product page for deployment, managed change, technical evidence, and recovery.

Shared work, distinct accountability

Keep responsibility explicit.

A managed environment can support implementation and evidence. It does not certify a product or organization, replace policy ownership, or determine the assessor's conclusion.

Managed environment

Keep technical evidence current

SecureEnclave™ can maintain approved state, configured safeguards, telemetry, technical checks, evidence context, and scoped recovery for supported components.

Customer organization

Own the decisions

The organization retains authorization, policy, risk, exceptions, incidents, affirmations, access decisions, operating authority, and the accuracy of submitted information.

Independent assessor

Determine the assessment result

The applicable assessor determines whether evidence and practices satisfy the assessment objectives for the defined scope.

MxD project 23-11-03

A manufacturing development focus.

MxD named NetThunder as the project team for Cybersecure Enclave Infrastructure as Code, focused on simplifying secure-environment provisioning, deployment, and maintenance for small and midsized manufacturers supporting DoD production. NetThunder developed SecureEnclave™ around that manufacturer-centered objective.

The public record identifies the team and objective. It does not establish MxD or government endorsement, a deployment outcome, or an assessment result.

Your next planning step

Bring the workflow into focus.

Bring a high-level workflow or your planning brief. The first conversation focuses on SecureEnclave™ fit, open questions, and the next design decisions.
