Only the people who handle CUI.
Each year

Microsoft licensing is not in these figures.

YEAR-ONE ESTIMATE
READY IN 60 DAYS
Microsoft licensing is separate. The base-enclave planning estimate is about $2,167 in year one for 3 users, based on the July 2026 reseller list at $722.40 per user per year. Request a current tenant-specific quote. Native and Premium replace this base estimate with G5 licensing. Microsoft and Azure AI consumption, and the C3PAO assessment fee, are not included in the CUIckStart total. Delivery durations start only once Microsoft Azure procurement is complete and your GCC High tenant is provisioned. The 60-day and 14-day clocks do not run before then.
AI add-ons
Three tiers on top of any CUIckStart enclave. The stand-up is inDirectIT’s; Microsoft and Azure are billed as pass-through.
TIER 1 OF 3
Flows only. No Studio agents, no Copilot seats, no models on CUI.
Enclave licensing Stays on Microsoft 365 Business Premium with the Defender and Purview Suite
Fit A first enclave, where the ISSO wants motion without a chat surface.
TIER 2 OF 3
Enable, plus native agents your people can ask.
Enclave licensing Moves to Microsoft 365 G5 (GCC High)
Fit BD and AP work lives in the enclave, and you will seat the control-plane roles.
TIER 3 OF 3
Native, plus one Azure Government Foundry agent and an operations layer.
Enclave licensing Moves to Microsoft 365 G5 (GCC High)
Fit Multi-entity companies, factories, or enclaves already on Native.
Microsoft licensing, billed by Microsoft on an annual commitment, and your C3PAO assessment fee. Work on systems outside the enclave stays with you or your MSP.
At the public reseller list as of July 2026: Microsoft 365 Business Premium for GCC High at $35.80 per user each month, plus the Defender and Purview add-on at $24.40. Together $60.20 per user each month, or $722.40 per user each year. A partner quote can differ.
Express compresses the same four stations into 14 days. It takes dedicated engineering time up front. The enclave, the user rate, and compliance management are the same.
Delivery durations start only once Microsoft Azure procurement is complete and your GCC High tenant is provisioned. The 60-day and 14-day clocks do not run before then.
Ready for an assessment or for a self-attestation: the enclave built, the named users onboarded, and the evidence held current.
