UCR and Google Public Sector: Secure Enclave for Research
🔒 UCR partnered with Google Public Sector to build a Secure Enclave powered by the Stellar Engine, a preconfigured cloud container that automates and enforces rigorous security postures. Backed by Google Cloud’s accredited services and a Zero Trust architecture, the environment closes unnecessary access points and maps foundational controls for NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC Level 2. The result is reduced technical overhead for researchers, restored eligibility for sensitive federal grants, and a scalable model the university plans to share with peers.
