Microsoft 365 GCC High: The Inside Story with Richard Wakeman

GRC Academy

Confused about Microsoft 365 and DFARS/CMMC compliance?

In this episode, I speak with Richard Wakeman, Chief Architect for cybersecurity of Aerospace & Defense @ Microsoft!

We discuss the history of the government clouds, the need behind GCC and GCC High, and much more!

Here are some highlights:

• The origins of the Microsoft clouds
• Which clouds support DFARS 7012 compliance
• When will GCC High be FedRAMP authorized?
• CUI enclave considerations

Richard is a wealth of knowledge, and I have personally benefited from his compliance blog articles since at least 2020!

If you are currently operating in the Microsoft cloud or are trying to decide which Microsoft cloud to buy, you won't want to miss this!

Were you aware that GCC High isn't FedRAMP authorized yet? What about Microsoft 365 commercial not being compliant with DFARS 7012?

Whatever your thoughts are, let me know!
