Ariento and Carahsoft Expand Reseller Access to Enclave One CMMC Solution

On October 19, 2026, Ariento Inc. and Carahsoft Technology Corp. announced a distribution partnership aimed at expanding public-sector access to CMMC compliance services. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will act as Ariento’s public-sector distributor, making the Enclave One solution available through its reseller ecosystem. The offer is directed at organizations in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) that need to address CMMC Level 2 requirements and want to procure implementation and assessment services through an established government technology channel.

Enclave One is positioned as an all-inclusive CMMC Level 2 offering with a starting subscription price of $499 per month. According to the announcement, the package combines a pre-certified managed environment, Microsoft 365 GCC or GCC-High licensing, required documentation, continuous security operations, and an independent assessment by a CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO). The bundled approach may help contractors evaluate total service scope and recurring costs against their current systems, internal compliance resources, and certification needs. The source does not specify the precise terms behind the starting price, such as eligibility criteria, user limits, or additional costs.

The announcement provides specific timing claims that are relevant for contractors planning compliance work: eligible organizations can onboard in as little as 72 hours and achieve CMMC Level 2 certification reflected in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) within 90 days. These are stated as potential timelines for eligible organizations, not guaranteed outcomes for every customer. Contractors should confirm onboarding prerequisites, assessment scheduling, scope, and the conditions that affect certification timing directly with Ariento or a participating reseller before relying on those milestones in a contract or compliance plan.

The partnership creates a channel opportunity for Carahsoft’s reseller partners to introduce a bundled CMMC service to DIB customers, while giving contractors another route to source an environment, licensing, documentation, security operations, and assessment support together. Ariento Managing Partner Chris Rose said the arrangement would bring Enclave One to “a much broader segment of the Defense Industrial Base” and make CMMC “easier to buy, implement and maintain.” Carahsoft CMMC Solutions Executive Alex Whitworth said adding the solution expands the company’s CMMC portfolio and helps connect DIB organizations with services intended to strengthen defense supply-chain security. No federal award, solicitation, or agency procurement action is identified in the announcement; the development is a commercial distribution partnership relevant to federal suppliers.
