Protecting CUI Protects the American Warfighter.

Planet Security is proud to introduce CPE Level 53, the new Government Edition of the Cybersecurity Protected Enclave, a flagship, turnkey solution engineered for full NIST SP 800-53 Revision 5 compliance and secure handling of Controlled Unclassified Information.

This is not a repackaged commercial solution. It is a purpose-built government-purchased enclave designed for small-to-medium DoD suppliers and other organizations operating under government information-security mandates.

The Compliance Challenge Is Real

Organizations handling CUI face a difficult combination of requirements:

  • Implementing a comprehensive security-control framework
  • Protecting government-owned equipment and sensitive information
  • Establishing enforceable policies and procedures
  • Training authorized personnel
  • Producing reliable evidence for assessment and authorization
  • Maintaining continuous monitoring after implementation
  • Responding to evolving cyber threats and supply-chain risks
  • Continuing mission execution while infrastructure is being remediated

For companies with legacy infrastructure, these demands can become even more difficult. Years of accumulated configurations, unsupported systems, inconsistent access controls, and technical debt may make retrofitting a production environment slow, disruptive, and expensive.

CPE Level 53 addresses that problem through a clean-slate, ground-up enclave. Instead of forcing an existing network to become something it was never designed to be, the Government Edition establishes a controlled environment that is compliant by design.

What Is CPE Level 53?

CPE Level 53 is Planet Security’s complete ecosystem for NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 implementation, operation, monitoring, and sustainment.

NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 provides a comprehensive catalog of security and privacy controls for federal information systems and organizations. The framework supports the Risk Management Framework lifecycle, including categorization, control selection and tailoring, implementation, assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring.

The Government Edition operationalizes that mission through an integrated combination of technology, documentation, services, and human expertise.

NIST compliance coverage and hardened government enclave capabilities

The Complete Ecosystem Includes

  • Hardened infrastructure deployed on-premise
  • Zero-latency local performance for protected workloads
  • Secure software stack configured for the enclave mission
  • 900+ targeted hardening steps
  • Enclave Information Security policy, or Man-Sec
  • Prescriptive operational-security procedures, or Op-Sec
  • Ongoing maintenance and security monitoring
  • Cybersecurity training for approved personnel
  • Security information and event management, or SIEM
  • Security patching and configuration management
  • Protected backup operations
  • Audit and assessment support
  • Virtual chief information security officer-level guidance
  • 100% human-based client support

This is end-to-end compliance execution, not a report, a checklist, or a collection of disconnected tools.

Engineered for 100% Coverage

The Government Edition is engineered for 100% coverage of the applicable NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 requirements within the defined enclave scope.

That coverage is delivered through more than technology alone. A defensible security posture requires the alignment of:

  1. People , trained and accountable personnel
  2. Policies , documented information-security expectations
  3. Procedures , repeatable operational processes
  4. Technology , hardened systems, protected communications, and monitoring
  5. Evidence , records demonstrating that controls are implemented and sustained
  6. Operations , ongoing maintenance, response, and continuous improvement

Many organizations struggle because they address these areas separately. CPE Level 53 brings them together as one managed operating environment.

For government suppliers, this integrated structure can significantly reduce complexity and give leadership a clearer path from requirements to implementation and from implementation to sustained readiness.

Yoo-Jin Advanced Synthetic Intelligence Without Client-Data Access

Artificial intelligence can improve detection, correlation, and operational speed, but generic AI tools cannot be trusted with client data simply because they are convenient. CUI, proprietary information, and government-related workloads require strict boundaries.

The Government Edition includes Yoo-Jin Advanced Synthetic Intelligence, providing world-class monitoring while never having access to client data.

Planet Security also emphasizes AI-obfuscated data when discussing AI-enabled workflows. This approach differentiates protected operations from Big-Tech models that may expose sensitive information to generalized, externally controlled systems.

Key safeguards include:

  • Yoo-Jin monitoring designed without access to client data
  • Human monitoring fallback if the client requests removal of Yoo-Jin services
  • 100% human-based client support
  • Security operations focused on the enclave’s posture, events, and control status
  • A privacy-first approach to AI-enabled security workflows

About Four Weeks to Full Implementation

Speed matters. A supplier may need a compliant environment to support a contract, respond to a government requirement, or protect mission-critical intellectual property.

With CPE Level 53, full implementation is typically achieved in about four weeks. That makes it the fastest path to an Authority to Operate available for organizations that meet the deployment prerequisites and actively participate in the implementation process.

Four-stage implementation roadmap for a protected government enclave

The Deployment Roadmap

  1. Scope and prepare
    Define the enclave boundary, identify approved personnel, and establish the implementation plan.
  2. Train approved personnel
    Deliver the cybersecurity and operational training required for the people responsible for using and managing the enclave.
  3. Deploy operational security
    Establish Man-Sec, Op-Sec, physical-security practices, access controls, and operating procedures.
  4. Verify and sustain
    Install and validate the protected infrastructure, complete orientation and operational sessions, and establish the ongoing monitoring and maintenance model.

A nationwide four-week full-implementation option is available. Alaska deployments from October through March are excluded except on a best-effort basis.

A Complete Three-Year Lifecycle

CPE Level 53 starts at $43,164 total for up to 20 users and is available for U.S. Federal Government purchase only.

The starting total includes a three-year comprehensive lifecycle, including:

  • Hardware
  • Software
  • Security configuration
  • Policies and procedures
  • Managed services
  • Maintenance
  • Monitoring
  • Cybersecurity training
  • Support
  • SIEM services
  • Patching
  • Backup
  • Audit support
  • vCISO-level guidance

There are no hidden fees and no cloud compromises within the defined offering. The solution is designed to provide a predictable, managed path instead of exposing a small supplier to endless consulting engagements and fragmented technology purchases.

Traditional consulting and remediation efforts can cost $100,000–$500,000 or more, especially when an organization attempts to retrofit legacy systems while simultaneously building its documentation and operational program.

The Government Edition changes that model by combining the environment and lifecycle services into one turnkey solution.

Proven Foundation, Government-Focused Mission

The Government Edition is built on Planet Security’s experience with its 2022 NIST-Compliant Infrastructure Server, described by the company as the first to fully meet every technical requirement in NIST SP 800-171 Revision 2.

Compliance is not achieved by paperwork alone. It is achieved through disciplined implementation and sustained operation.

Who Should Consider the Government Edition?

CPE Level 53 is purpose-built for:

  • Small-to-medium DoD suppliers handling CUI
  • Companies new to government information-security requirements
  • Organizations preparing for an Authority to Operate
  • Suppliers with legacy infrastructure and significant technical debt
  • Teams that need a clean-slate protected environment
  • Businesses that want to focus on innovation, production, and mission execution
  • Government representatives seeking a turnkey enclave for an eligible supplier

The result is a protected operating environment that allows the supplier to move forward with greater confidence, without allowing compliance work to consume the entire organization.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Government Edition and a conventional security project?

A conventional project may provide assessments, recommendations, or isolated technology. CPE Level 53 combines hardened infrastructure, documentation, training, managed operations, monitoring, support, and audit guidance into one lifecycle solution.

Is the solution cloud-based?

The Government Edition uses hardened on-premise or co-located infrastructure. This supports zero-latency performance and maintains the protected workload within a dedicated enclave rather than relying on a generic cloud environment.

Does Yoo-Jin Advanced Synthetic Intelligence access client data?

No. Yoo-Jin is designed to never have access to client data. If a client requests removal of Yoo-Jin services, human monitoring is available as the fallback.

How long does deployment take?

Full implementation is available in about four weeks, subject to scope, site readiness, approved personnel availability, and active client participation.

What does the starting total include?

The starting total of $43,164 covers up to 20 users and includes a three-year comprehensive lifecycle with hardware, software, managed services, training, support, monitoring, maintenance, and related compliance services.

Is this a replacement for an official authorization or assessment?

CPE Level 53 is an implementation and managed-operations solution. An organization’s final authorization or assessment remains part of the applicable government and assessment process. Planet Security provides the infrastructure, documentation, operational support, and audit assistance needed to pursue that outcome with a properly deployed enclave.
