If you are pursuing CMMC compliance and plan to use a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) or GCC High licenses, there is an important step you will need to complete before your licenses can be activated.
What is a GCC High Tenant?
A GCC High Tenant is a Microsoft environment required to bind your Azure Government licenses to. Without one, your licenses cannot be activated and your progress in Secureframe Navigator will be delayed.
Do I need to fill out the intake form?
If you do not already have a GCC High tenant, you will need to submit the Microsoft GCC High Intake Form to get authorization from Microsoft before your licenses can be bound. You can find the form here: Microsoft GCC High Intake Form
If you already have a GCC High tenant, you do not need to fill out the form and your licenses can bind to it upon receiving.
Why does this matter?
The authorization process can take a few days, plus additional time for initial setup by an admin user. Completing this step as early as possible ensures there are no delays in your onboarding experience and keeps your CMMC implementation on track.
