ISO 27001 Certified Organization Handling Your Controlled Data

VirtuWorks holds ISO 27001, ISO 20000-1, and ISO 9001 certifications. Our information security controls are reviewed every year by an accredited third-party auditor, which matters when the data inside your Microsoft GCC tenant is controlled, regulated, or citizen-facing. The provider handling your environment operates under the same standard we help you demonstrate.

CMMC, NIST 800-171, DFARS, ITAR, and CJIS Alignment

Our Microsoft GCC engagements map Microsoft 365 GCC and Azure Government controls to CMMC, NIST 800-171, DFARS, ITAR, FedRAMP High alignment, and CJIS where applicable. Every control has an owner, an evidence artifact, and a review cadence, which turns compliance from a binder exercise into an operating system.

Microsoft GCC

Microsoft Defender for Government and Azure Security Center

VirtuWorks operates Microsoft Defender for Government and Azure Security Center as a managed service inside your GCC environment, with real-time monitoring, automated threat detection, and AI-driven risk assessments. Incidents trigger response under our documented runbook, with evidence captured for compliance review.

Hybrid Cloud and Azure Government Migration

Migration to Microsoft GCC and Azure Government is rarely a single step. VirtuWorks runs hybrid deployments that integrate on-premise infrastructure with Azure Government, migrates workloads in phases under documented runbooks, and keeps both sides of the hybrid under one managed policy baseline until the cutover is complete.

Custom Government Apps Built on Power Apps and Azure Government

Every government mission has a custom workflow: case management, grant administration, permitting, inspection tracking, citizen service. VirtuWorks builds those workflows on Power Apps and Azure Government services rather than forcing a mission into a commercial SaaS product, so the compliance boundary and the business logic stay in the same cloud.

DevSecOps and Continuous Compliance

VirtuWorks runs DevSecOps for Microsoft GCC environments: vulnerability scanning on every build, compliance policy enforcement before deploy, and continuous monitoring after. Updates and fixes land faster than a quarterly change window allows, and your audit evidence is generated as a side effect of shipping, not a separate annual project.

    CMMC Readiness and Audit Preparation

    VirtuWorks delivers CMMC readiness assessments and audit preparation for defense contractors operating under DFARS and NIST 800-171. We scope Controlled Unclassified Information, map controls across Microsoft 365 GCC and Azure Government, and produce the evidence an assessor actually wants to see. CMMC stops being a quarterly panic and becomes a running program.

    Microsoft 365 GCC Collaboration

    We deploy Microsoft 365 GCC for collaboration with Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive configured under government-grade encryption, access policies, and audit logging. Your users get the same Microsoft 365 experience they expect, running on a tenant that meets the compliance bar your contracts or citizens require.

    Azure Government Workloads and Migration

    VirtuWorks runs Azure Government workloads with Remote Desktop solutions, load balancing, autoscaling, and secure migration from commercial or on-premise environments. We handle the lift-and-shift as well as re-architecture for greenfield workloads, so your agency or business moves to a compliant cloud without breaking what already works.

    Device Management

    : Zero-Trust Identity and Managed Defense

    Zero-Trust is the baseline for Microsoft GCC. VirtuWorks enforces multi-factor authentication, role-based access control, and conditional access policies across every user, and layers Microsoft Defender for Government and Azure Security Center for real-time threat detection and automated response. Identity is the perimeter, and the perimeter is managed.

    Azure Backup, Site Recovery, and Microsoft 365 Backup

    Our Microsoft GCC service includes Microsoft 365 Backup for mailboxes, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams data, plus Azure Backup and Azure Site Recovery for compute and hybrid workloads. Recovery-point and recovery-time objectives are documented, tested, and mapped to your continuity of operations plan.

    Custom Apps, Analytics, and DevSecOps

    VirtuWorks builds custom case management and workflow applications on Power Apps, deploys machine learning and predictive analytics models in Azure Government, and runs DevSecOps with vulnerability scanning and compliance enforcement baked into the pipeline. Government modernization without sacrificing the controls your regulator expects.

    The Full Stack for Government Community Cloud Solutions VirtuWorks Delivers

    Microsoft GCC (Government Community Cloud) is the Microsoft cloud tier built for U.S. government agencies, public sector organizations, and contractors handling controlled data. When VirtuWorks runs your Microsoft GCC environment, it becomes a managed service with ISO 27001 certified processes behind it, CMMC and NIST 800-171 controls mapped to real evidence, Microsoft 365 GCC and Azure Government under one policy baseline, and a managed defense posture inside the compliance boundary.

    Microsoft GCC is often the reason defense contractors can pursue CMMC certification at all. VirtuWorks runs CMMC readiness assessments, maps your Microsoft GCC controls to NIST 800-171 and DFARS requirements, scopes Controlled Unclassified Information boundaries, and prepares the evidence package an assessor actually wants. We stay with you through the audit and the corrective actions that follow.

    Our Microsoft GCC service delivers Microsoft 365 GCC with Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive deployed under government-grade encryption, access policies, and audit logging. Users get the collaboration experience they are used to, running on a tenant configured for CJIS, HIPAA, and IRS 1075 compatibility where the mission requires it.

    Azure Government is the compute layer of Microsoft GCC. VirtuWorks runs Azure Government workloads with load balancing, autoscaling, Remote Desktop solutions for secure remote access, and phased migration from commercial or on-premise environments. Hybrid deployments are first-class, not an afterthought.

    Microsoft GCC security is Zero-Trust by design. VirtuWorks enforces multi-factor authentication, role-based access control, and conditional access across your tenant, and operates Microsoft Defender for Government and Azure Security Center as managed services. Real-time monitoring, AI-driven risk assessments, and automated threat detection run inside the compliance boundary, not outside it.

    Government continuity of operations is a compliance requirement, not a best practice. Our Microsoft GCC service layers Microsoft 365 Backup across mail and collaboration data, Azure Backup for compute workloads, and Azure Site Recovery for disaster recovery, with documented recovery-point and recovery-time objectives and regular tested failover.

    Microsoft GCC is a platform, not a product. VirtuWorks builds custom case management and workflow applications on Power Apps, deploys machine learning and predictive analytics in Azure Government, runs DevSecOps pipelines with vulnerability scanning and compliance enforcement, and manages IT lifecycle and agreement management across the full environment.
    Morgan was very quick to resolve my issue. He was very personable while doing so. He communicated his process to me the entire time so I was kept in the loop. He went above and beyond the original ticket I put in and resolved multiple other issues I was having. 10/10 customer service

    FAQs

    Microsoft GCC (Government Community Cloud) is a dedicated Microsoft cloud tier built for U.S. government agencies, public sector organizations, and contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information. Microsoft 365 GCC delivers Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Outlook under federal compliance controls, and Azure Government delivers compute, storage, and services under FedRAMP High authorization and CJIS-compatible boundaries.

    VirtuWorks delivers Microsoft GCC as a managed service: deployment, migration, Zero-Trust security, CMMC readiness, and continuous operations inside the compliance boundary.

    Microsoft GCC provides the infrastructure controls required by NIST 800-171 and CMMC Level 2 for contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information. When VirtuWorks runs your Microsoft GCC environment, we map Microsoft 365 GCC and Azure Government controls to the CMMC practice domains, document the evidence, run readiness assessments, and prepare your organization for the third-party CMMC assessment.

    This matters because most of the technical controls a CMMC assessor evaluates live inside your Microsoft GCC tenant. A properly configured and managed GCC environment is the difference between a clean CMMC outcome and a remediation cycle.

    Microsoft 365 GCC is a separate tenant class with data residency in U.S. datacenters, screened U.S.-based support personnel, and a compliance boundary covering frameworks that commercial Microsoft 365 does not fully meet: CJIS, IRS 1075, FedRAMP High alignment, and the technical basis for CMMC Level 2 compliance. Commercial Microsoft 365 is not interchangeable with Microsoft GCC for controlled or regulated workloads.

    Migration from commercial Microsoft 365 to Microsoft GCC is a tenant-level move that requires planning. VirtuWorks runs those migrations under a documented runbook.

    Yes. Azure Government migration is a core part of our Microsoft GCC service. VirtuWorks assesses your current workloads (commercial cloud, on-premise, hybrid), scopes the target Azure Government architecture, runs a phased migration with documented cutover plans, and keeps the hybrid state under one managed policy baseline during the transition.

    We also handle re-architecture where a lift-and-shift is not the right choice, and we build new workloads on Azure Government services directly when greenfield is the mission.

    Microsoft GCC is a specialized managed service, scoped per engagement, because Microsoft 365 GCC and Azure Government licensing, tenant setup, and compliance requirements differ meaningfully from commercial Microsoft 365. Unlike our commercial Full User plan, Microsoft GCC engagements are priced based on tenant size, workloads in scope, CMMC or other compliance requirements, and migration complexity.

    We provide transparent licensing pass-through, a fixed managed service fee, and a scoped statement of work. The initial CMMC readiness review and discovery call is free.
