Most conversations about Copilot, Teams, and Microsoft 365 security are happening at the tool layer.
That’s understandable — but it’s also where CMMC failures quietly begin.
Microsoft 365 is security-capable by design.
Copilot and Teams are productivity accelerators by intent.
Neither of them is non-compliant.
They are compliance-neutral.
CMMC Doesn’t Certify Products
CMMC doesn’t certify tools.
It evaluates architecture, trust boundaries, information flow, and evidence.
If collaboration is treated as a flat plane,
AI doesn’t break compliance — it simply amplifies whatever trust boundaries already exist.
That realization changes everything.
Introducing Rahsi Defense Security Mesh™
Not a tool.
Not a feature.
A posture.
Rahsi Defense Security Mesh™ is a way to make collaboration itself a provable, regulated surface — without slowing teams down.
What the Mesh Enforces
- Explicit CUI / FCI / Unclassified collaboration zones
- Copilot containment by scope, index, and classification
- Cross-tenant trust as deny-by-default, not convenience
- Assessor-grade audit spine that survives real investigations
This is where collaboration stops being assumed safe and becomes architecturally defensible.
Built on Microsoft — Not Against It
This is not anti-Microsoft.
It exists because Microsoft’s Zero Trust and AI stack are strong enough to support it.
When you design around trust boundaries,
Copilot becomes an ally, not a risk.
Who This Is For
If you work in:
- Azure or Microsoft 365
- Security or compliance architecture
- Copilot or Teams governance
- Defense Industrial Base (DIB) environments
- CMMC Level 2 readiness
This will feel uncomfortably familiar — in a good way.
