// SERVICE — CLAUDE CODE PRACTICE
Enterprise Claude Code Setup
End-to-end setup of Claude Code on an Anthropic Enterprise account with cloud-segregated tenancy, SSO integration, audit logging, and compliance-ready posture. Built for government contractors, defense-adjacent organizations, large enterprise, and compliance-driven SMBs that need Claude Code as a development engine without giving up governance, auditability, or regulatory alignment. Setup $25K-$75K plus optional $7,500/month ongoing management.
Why organizations need enterprise setup
Default Claude Code — individual engineer accounts, default cloud API, no central governance — works for small teams without regulatory obligations. It does not work once any of the following become true:
- SOC 2 or equivalent audit obligations. Auditors need to know who accessed what, when, and why. Default Claude Code provides no org-level audit trail.
- Client contracts prohibit uncontrolled AI processing. Many enterprise contracts now include clauses requiring AI tools to run on approved, segregated infrastructure.
- SSO is mandatory. Security teams will not allow engineering tools without SSO integration. Default Claude Code has no SSO.
- Per-team billing and rate limiting. At 100+ engineers, uncontrolled Claude Code usage can produce six-figure monthly bills with no way to attribute cost or throttle runaway workloads.
- Federal procurement requirements. Government contractors working on classified-adjacent projects need FedRAMP-adjacent posture documentation and sometimes GovCloud deployment.
- HIPAA, PCI DSS, or attorney-client privilege. Data-handling controls must be explicit and documented, not implicit in a tool's default behavior.
Enterprise Claude Code Setup addresses these by putting your entire organization on one Anthropic Enterprise tenancy with consistent security and governance — and documenting it in a way that survives audit review.

- Multi-tenant segregation strategy for projects at different classification levels
- Red-team review of deployment against adversarial prompt scenarios
- 90-day post-launch support
Ongoing Enterprise Management — $7,500 / month
For organizations that have an enterprise deployment but lack a dedicated Claude Code administrator internally. Month-to-month, 30-day cancel notice.
- User provisioning and deprovisioning via your IDP
- Skill library governance — review of new skills, deprecation of stale ones
- Monthly audit log review and anomaly flagging
- Quarterly compliance posture check and documentation refresh
- Cost attribution reporting and rate-limit tuning
- Priority Slack/Discord access for your devops team
Who this is for
- Government contractors — prime and subcontractors working on federal projects with FedRAMP-adjacent posture requirements
- Defense-adjacent organizations — entities supporting DoD, IC, or allied defense programs
- Large enterprise engineering organizations — 100+ engineers where uncontrolled Claude Code usage creates governance and cost problems
- Compliance-driven financial services — banks, trading firms, asset managers subject to SOC 2, PCI DSS, or SEC obligations
- Healthcare organizations — HIPAA-covered entities that can accept Anthropic Enterprise's BAA-backed cloud processing
- Regulated industry SMBs — smaller organizations in regulated industries that still need governance and audit posture
What this is not
This service is not a compliance certification. 2 Acre Studios is not a certification body. We deliver a deployment, documentation, and threat model that align with relevant controls — your organization's audit team or external auditor handles the actual certification process. We make their job dramatically easier. We do not replace them.
This service is not a replacement for Anthropic's direct enterprise sales process. Anthropic maintains the commercial relationship, the contractual terms, the BAA where applicable, and the tenancy itself. We coordinate on your behalf and handle all the deployment work that Anthropic's enterprise sales team does not handle.
This service is not appropriate when private on-premises deployment is required. If your compliance posture demands that no data leave your network regardless of controls — classified work, certain ITAR categories, air-gapped networks — see Private Claude Code Deployment instead.
How to combine with other Claude Code services
Most enterprise deployments are not standalone. Common bundles:
- Compliance-Aware Enterprise Setup ($45K) + Mid Training Program ($50K) = bundled $80K ($15K savings). The enterprise deployment is pointless without trained engineers.
- Government Contractor Setup ($75K) + Large Training Program ($75K) + Ongoing Management ($7.5K/mo) = bundled $140K setup + $7.5K/mo ($10K savings on setup).
- Standard Enterprise Setup ($25K) + Workshop ($15K) = bundled $36K ($4K savings). Entry-level enterprise adoption.
Frequently asked questions
What is an enterprise Claude Code setup?
A deployment that puts Claude Code on an Anthropic Enterprise account with cloud-segregated tenancy, SSO, full audit logging, per-user access control, and governance framework. Unlike default Claude Code where each engineer has an individual account and no central governance, enterprise setup puts the whole organization on one managed tenancy with consistent security posture.
Who needs enterprise setup vs. default Claude Code?
Default works for small teams without regulatory obligations. Enterprise is required when: SOC 2 audit requirements; client contracts prohibit uncontrolled AI processing; SSO mandatory; per-team billing/rate limiting needed; or FedRAMP-adjacent obligations. Most 100+ engineer organizations eventually need enterprise for governance alone.
What is cloud segregation?
Your organization's Claude Code traffic is processed on infrastructure isolated from other customers at the network and data-handling layer. Anthropic's Enterprise tier provides this. For government contractors, plus GovCloud (where supported) or dedicated-region deployment gives you the posture required by most federal procurement contracts.
Can you set up Anthropic Enterprise accounts?
Yes. We coordinate with Anthropic's enterprise team on your behalf, provision the tenancy, configure IDP integration, set up audit log pipelines, and document governance. You maintain the direct commercial relationship with Anthropic; we handle deployment work.
Do you provide FedRAMP or SOC 2 certifications?
No — we're not a certification body. We provide a deployment aligned with FedRAMP / SOC 2 / HIPAA-relevant controls, a threat model specific to your Claude Code usage, and documentation your compliance team uses during audits. The certification is between your organization and the auditor.
How does this differ from Private Claude Code Deployment?
Enterprise uses Anthropic's cloud with segregation and enterprise controls. Private uses your own infrastructure with an open-weight model. Enterprise = capability of Anthropic's Claude models, cloud processing under enterprise controls permitted, Anthropic handles reliability. Private = no data leaves your network regardless of controls, sovereignty over both data and model.
How long does setup take?
Standard 3-4 weeks. Compliance-Aware 6-8 weeks. Government Contractor 8-16 weeks depending on your compliance review cadence. Technical work 2-3 weeks; variable is your internal governance process, Anthropic onboarding, and compliance documentation review.
What is the ongoing management retainer?
$7,500/month for administration of the deployment: user provisioning, skill library governance, audit log review, quarterly compliance posture check, cost attribution tuning. For orgs with an enterprise deployment but no dedicated Claude Code administrator.
Can we combine with Training & Enablement?
Yes, and recommended. Enterprise deployment is pointless without trained engineers. Common bundle: Compliance-Aware ($45K) + Mid Training ($50K) = $80K, saving $15K off list.
