Managed Enclave Assessments: What Assessors Actually Look For

What do assessors actually look for when evaluating an organization using a managed enclave? Using a managed enclave can help reduce the scope and complexity of protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), but contractors still need to understand their responsibilities before entering an assessment. In this Assessor Roundtable, experienced assessment and compliance professionals share firsthand perspectives on what contractors should understand about managed enclave environments, FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency, inherited controls, selecting a C3PAO, and preparing for assessment. In this discussion, you'll learn: -How assessors approach managed enclave environments and evaluate CUI boundaries -What FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency means during assessment -Why contractors should review their provider's Body of Evidence (BOE) -How inherited, shared, and customer-owned responsibilities are evaluated -Why the Customer Responsibility Matrix (CRM) matters -What to ask when selecting a C3PAO -Common documentation and evidence gaps that can create assessment challenges -How to prepare your team before assessment day Meet Our Panel: James Ahern – Federal CTO & Lead Assessor | ControlCase Katie Dodson – President, Defense Solutions | Hive Systems Glenda R.
