Microsoft 365 GCC High Migration Services for Defense Contractors
Facing CMMC certification requirements or DFARS contract clauses? Microsoft 365 GCC High migration isn’t optional—it’s mandatory for defense contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). But the complexity of licensing, data migration, and security configuration can derail your timeline and put contracts at risk.
Bitlynk specializes in rapid, compliant GCC High migrations that meet CMMC Level 2 and NIST SP 800-171 requirements. We handle the technical complexity so you can focus on your mission-critical work and maintain your DoD contracts.
Understanding GCC High: Why Commercial Office 365 Isn’t Compliant
The Critical Difference
Commercial Office 365 doesn’t meet the stringent requirements for handling CUI because:
- Data Location: Commercial tenants store data globally; GCC High keeps all data in U.S. data centers
- Personnel Access: Commercial support includes international staff; GCC High restricts access to screened U.S. persons only
- Network Isolation: GCC High operates on physically separate infrastructure from commercial Office 365
- FedRAMP Authorization: GCC High is authorized at FedRAMP High impact level; commercial is not
- Compliance Controls: GCC High implements all 110 NIST 800-171 controls required for CMMC Level 2
Using commercial Office 365 for CUI violates DFARS requirements and can result in contract termination.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, but it’s not a simple upgrade. GCC High requires a completely new tenant and full data migration. We handle this transition regularly.
GCC is for government organizations and meets CJIS requirements. GCC High is for defense contractors handling CUI and meets CMMC/DFARS/NIST 800-171 requirements. Most defense contractors need GCC High, not GCC.
