The Hidden Costs of Not Migrating to GCC High
Blog Article
When federal compliance isn’t front of mind, many contractors unknowingly run afoul of cybersecurity standards—especially when relying on standard Microsoft 365 environments. The real cost? Not just fines or lost contracts, but long-term damage to reputation and operational trust.
What’s at Stake?
Failing to move to a secure environment like GCC High can result in:
-
Contract disqualification – especially under CMMC, DFARS, or ITAR regulations
-
Data breaches that expose Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)
-
Audit failures leading to delayed renewals or lost federal partnerships
-
Costly rework to fix misconfigured or non-compliant environments
Why Contractors Delay—and Why That’s Risky
Many organizations assume GCC High is too expensive or complex to implement. But delays can be more costly in the long run. Misconfigured systems, third-party risk exposure, and increased threat surface all add up over time.
