INQUIRE TODAY
Microsoft is now permitting small and medium-sized businesses to purchase Microsoft 365 GCC High licensing.
To meet the unique and evolving requirements of the United States Department of Defense (DoD) contractors holding or processing DoD Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) or subject to International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Microsoft offers the Microsoft 365 U.S. Government Community Cloud (GCC) High environment.
Dox, a Microsoft Gold Partner, is a certified Microsoft Reseller for Microsoft 365 GCC High licensing for companies of fewer than 500 licenses. Microsoft had previously required companies to sign an Enterprise Agreement (EA) of 500 or more licenses to access the Microsoft 365 GCC High environment, but under the updated program, Dox can provide access to Microsoft 365 GCC High to smaller companies without that 500 license commitment.
Many are confused about which cloud is right for them. For those of you who have a government contract through the DoD or for those businesses that fall under DFARS or ITAR requirements, you must be on GCC High in order to be in compliance with and achieve and maintain regulatory compliance. DFARS requires your cloud environment to be FedRAMP compliant and Microsoft is not able to supply several requirements under the FedRAMP controls for the regular public Office 365 offering. Microsoft only certifies DFARS compliance on the GCC High environment.
