CMMC & NIST 800-171 Compliant
Azure Virtual Desktop Enclaves for CUI
Compliance Island closes the gap between cloud and compliance
Do you or your customers need to meet NIST SP 800-171 requirements and achieve CMMC 2.0 Level 2 certification?
Compliance Island combines secure “PC in the cloud” VDI enclave technology with a complete System Security Plan (SSP) and Policies and Procedures documentation into a turnkey, CMMC assessment-ready solution built on Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365.
Customers reduce assessment costs, effort, and risk using our EasyAudit automated evidence collection service and trusted C3PAO assessor partner network, often achieving a compliant solution and CMMC Level 2 assessment for about the cost of an assessment alone.
Deployed in the customer’s own Azure tenant (Azure Government and Microsoft 365 GCC High recommended), Compliance Island supports secure Windows and Microsoft 365 workloads and can be extended to third-party or custom applications.
The result is simplified compliance, reduced scope, and stronger security, efficiently and affordably.

Compliance Island Overview
Compliance Island Core Services are designed to meet the rigorous demands of NIST 800-171 and CMMC 2.0 Advanced Level 2 compliance.
Add-on technologies and services allow us to meet most organizations’ needs, whether it’s for your internal use or for your customers.
Compliance Island provides you, or your customer, with individual fully compliant enclave(s) running Azure Virtual Desktop Windows PCs with the Microsoft Office 365 (E5 recommended).
To ensure compliance for all CUI category markings, including export controlled or nuclear, we recommend deploying in Microsoft GCC High and Azure Government.
Deploying in GCC or Commerical Cloud, or using Microsoft 365 E3 + EMS E5 for end-users is available upon request.
A full suite of Core Compliance Documentation is included to ensure you will quickly and cost-effectively meet requirements allowing you to confidently attest to compliance.
Depending on your internal capabilities, you can opt to purchase the Required Compliance Plans and Services from us, or use your existing capabilities.
Full compliance requires some customer participation in these Plans, as shown in the included Responsibility Matrix.
Compliance Island can be used as-is when a Windows PC with Office 365, with or without added applications software, meets the need.
Compliance Island can also serve as the foundation to a larger solution. With a strong architecture, it’s easy to add technology and capabilities built in Azure, Microsoft 365, or Dynamics 365 with much less effort needed to ensure your compliance requirements continue to be met.
Island Systems offers architecture services to help you build your solutions while meeting compliance requirements.
