CMMC 2.0
Compliance Made Clear

CMMC compliance is now a contract requirement — not a future consideration. Vortex helps Washington DC-area defense contractors and DIB supply chain companies achieve and maintain their required CMMC level using Microsoft GCC High and Azure Government — the same FedRAMP-authorized platform CMMC auditors expect to see.

What is CMMC 2.0?

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is the Department of Defense's framework to protect sensitive defense information. If your company works with the DoD — directly or as a subcontractor — CMMC compliance is mandatory, not optional.

Microsoft GCC High & FedRAMP

As a Microsoft Solutions Partner, Vortex is one of a small number of MSPs in the DMV with hands-on GCC High implementation experience. We deploy and manage Microsoft GCC High — the government cloud environment specifically designed to satisfy ITAR, EAR, and DFARS requirements — as a complete, configured environment, not a self-service migration. Your controls are documented. Your tenant is locked down. Your C3PAO assessor sees exactly what they need to see.
