Connecting to GCC High

Question

Am curious, what internal security controls or compliance to security frameworks would a private company need to adhere to in order to connect to GCC High once approved?

Hi Chris,

For access to the GCC you will need to complete the pre-reqs listed in this article and follow the process https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/servicedescriptions/office-365-platform-service-description/office-365-us-government/microsoft-365-government-how-to-buy#microsoft-365-government-eligibility-and-validation

Also there has to be background checks on the resources that will manage the environment - more details here -https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/servicedescriptions/office-365-platform-service-description/office-365-us-government/gcc-high-and-dod

Hope this helps.
