How much could a CUI enclave shrink your CMMC bill?
Most defense contractors over-scope their CMMC assessment by a wide margin. A properly designed enclave isolates CUI to a small environment and excludes everything else. Plug in three numbers and we'll show you the delta.
Servers, endpoints (laptops/desktops), network devices, and major business applications. A rough count is fine.
In a mixed environment without an enclave, this is usually 80–100% — CUI tends to bleed across email, shared drives, and endpoints. If you've already segmented, you'll know.
Per-system cost to bring something into NIST 800-171 compliance — endpoint hardening, MDM, EDR, logging, configuration. Most contractors land between $3,000 and $8,000. We default to $5,000.
Here's what an enclave could save you.
Based on your environment, this is the remediation cost delta between bringing every CUI-touching system into CMMC scope versus isolating CUI to a properly designed enclave.
in remediation cost by isolating CUI in an enclave instead of bringing your whole environment into scope.

Methodology. "Without enclave" assumes your CUI percentage of systems will need full NIST 800-171 remediation. "With Greypike Enclave" assumes a properly scoped enclave reduces in-scope systems to roughly 30% of the CUI-touching subset — a conservative version of the 60% scope reduction we typically see on engagements. Numbers are directional; real scoping happens in our Compliance Roadmap engagement. This tool is not legal or compliance advice.
