The authorization boundary encompasses the core NetSuite ERP application, SuiteCommerce, SuitePeople HCM, and integrated third-party connectors within OCI Government Cloud. Procurement timeline typically spans 6-9 months including security review, contract negotiation, and implementation planning. For CMMC assessments, NetSuite Government should be included in your assessment boundary as an external service provider (ESP) requiring evidence of FedRAMP authorization and appropriate data flow documentation. Ensure contract language addresses data location requirements, breach notification procedures, and right-to-audit clauses. The Government Cloud deployment ensures CUI data remains within CONUS and meets stringent data residency requirements.
