Tesseract Secure
A preconfigured Microsoft GCC High enclave that covers all 110 controls. No infrastructure to build, no IT team required, and no disruption to your current environment.
Why Tesseract Secure Just Works
Tesseract Secure is built for small and midsized businesses that need CMMC compliance without doing it all themselves. It’s not another tool to manage, but a complete compliance program powered by Microsoft and guided by experts.
At the heart of Secure is a pre-configured, cloud-based enclave built on Microsoft GCC High. This secure environment is aligned to CMMC requirements right out of the box, so you can keep working the way you already do, with no migrations, no infrastructure build-out, and no disruption to your existing systems. Sensitive data stays protected inside the enclave while your business runs as usual, giving you confidence, simplicity, and compliance at a cost that fits your budget.
