What each product does
PreVeil sells encrypted email and files (and sometimes a hosted desktop). AIC CMMC Level 2 is the complete kit: the AIC email server and file sharing for CUI, plus privileged access, configuration compliance on machines that connect to the enclave, training and attestation, and the Assessment Binder, on one server you run in Azure or on your own hardware. You do not buy PreVeil and then shop for the rest.
How AIC wins this deal
Order AIC CMMC Level 2. Deploy it in your Microsoft Azure subscription (ready to configure in under 5 minutes) or on hardware you own. Turn on the included email server. Point CUI mail and files at AIC. Everyday commercial Microsoft 365 can stay for non-CUI work.
| You turn on | Included in Level 2 |
|---|---|
| CUI email server in Azure or on your hardware | 25 mailboxes |
| File sharing (AIC secure share) | 25 named users |
| Privileged vault, brokered SSH, RDP, and VNC, endpoint elevation | 25 managed systems |
| Configuration compliance on machines that connect to the enclave | Available now (extra connecting systems = $8 per month) |
| Training and attestation | 25 seats |
| Assessment Binder from live evidence | Included |
Year 1 in 2026: $19,800 (startup waived), against an estimated $54,702 PreVeil stack that still adds privileged access and a tracker [2][3][4]. Extra mailboxes $22 each.
Upgrade path. Start with Free, then Level 2 compliance tracking ($119 per month), Level 2 Essentials ($499 per month), Level 2 ($1,650 per month), and Level 3. Level 1 and AIC Privileged Access ($89 per privileged user per month; five-user minimum) can also upgrade in place to Level 2. Records carry over. Evidence from connecting machines, training and attestation, privileged sessions, Incident Response, and the Assessment Binder stays in one product. Session Recording is not included in Free, Tracking, Essentials, Level 1, or Level 2; it is included only in Level 3 with isolated Jump.
Switch credit. If PreVeil is prepaid and still has unused term, AIC credits that unused prepaid remainder against Year 1 of Level 2, up to twelve months of the AIC package. See Competitive Switch Credit.
