GCC High Deployment Services for Government Contractors
Government contractors operating in Microsoft 365 GCC High face a different challenge than understanding the platform itself. The real risk lies in deploying GCC High correctly, configuring it securely, and maintaining compliance over time without disrupting business operations.
Rolle IT provides GCC High deployment and advisory services for government contractors that require a secure, compliant, and sustainable Microsoft 365 GCC High environment.
GCC High Deployment for Compliance-Driven Organizations
Organizations required to operate in GCC High must meet strict contractual and regulatory expectations. These requirements often include alignment with NIST SP 800-171, DFARS 252.204-7012, and Department of Defense cybersecurity expectations.
Rolle IT Cybersecurity:
Ensures Microsoft eligibility and licensing are handled correctly
Supports internal IT teams with limited GCC High experience
Reduces risks by providing structured GCC High deployment and advisory support.
Engagement Beyond Initial Implementation
GCC High is not a one-time project. Licensing changes, new users, evolving contracts, and assessments introduce ongoing demands.
Rolle IT remains engaged to support:
- Licensing lifecycle management
- Configuration and governance reviews
- Audit and assessment preparation
- Strategic guidance as requirements evolve
Our clients value continuity and institutional knowledge, not one-time delivery.
Executive and Procurement Priorities
Organizations required to operate in GCC High face several non-negotiable priorities:
-
Proper eligibility validation and license issuance
-
Secure, defensible tenant configuration
-
Alignment with contractual and regulatory obligations
-
Audit readiness and documentation support
-
Long-term operational sustainability
Rolle IT works with leadership teams to ensure these priorities are addressed consistently and deliberately, without introducing unnecessary complexity or risk.
Continuity Beyond Implementation
GCC High environments evolve as contracts, compliance requirements, and organizational needs change. Rolle IT remains engaged beyond initial implementation to support:
-
Licensing lifecycle management
-
Configuration and governance reviews
-
Audit and assessment support
-
Strategic guidance as requirements evolve
This continuity reduces institutional risk and supports long-term compliance.

FAQ
What Is CMMC?
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification is a cybersecurity standard that will be on DoD contracts. CMMC 2.0 is broken down into 3 levels of certification ranging from basic (Level 1) to advanced (Level 2). Level 3 Assessments will be led by DIBCAC.
What if we Don’t Handle CUI? Do we Still Need to be Certified?
If you do not currently have CUI in your contracts, you may still be required by your prime contractor to have CMMC implemented. It is important to carefully read any contracts with the DoD or with any Prime Contractors for the Dod.
Who does CMMC Impact?
The CMMC level mandated will be stated in the contract information. The majority of contracts will require a Level 1 or Level 2 compliance.
Contracts with FCI exclusively: CMMC Level 1 compliance requirements.
Contracts with CUI: CMMC Level 2 will be required as a minimum.
Prime Contractors are allowed to set contract requirements with their vendors and may require subcontractors to obtain and maintain CMMC even if they are not immediately responsible for Storing, Receiving or Processing CUI.
What are the Costs Associated with CMMC?
Costs vary widely depending on your infrastructure, internal capabilities and goals. To discuss your CMMC requirements and schedule a complimentary 30 min consultation, email us at [email protected] or call 321-872-7576.
