Totally agree on the importance of early engagement with external experts. A lot of teams underestimate just how much lift goes into solid documentation and managing third-party risk. The reality is, the challenges shift as you move through the process... so your approach has to stay flexible and keep evolving.
A must-read for anyone working on compliance and cybersecurity. Many organizations are still behind, but these strategies can definitely help bridge the gap. Thanks for sharing these insights!
This post shares key strategies for handling CMMC 2.0, which is more important than ever in today’s complex environment. I’m especially curious about how "early engagement with external experts" has improved compliance processes for organizations like yours. Have you experienced any specific successes or challenges in this area? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
TEAM, Preparing for CMMC 2.0 is crucial! With 85% of contractors lagging behind, adopting proven strategies like verified encryption and formal vendor risk programs can make all the difference.
The streamlining of processes and reporting is where it can rub the wrong way. Often times, too much friction is what results in the circumventing of controls, taking the easy way out, shadow IT and AI. Always important to make cybersecurity as frictionless as possible to allow adoption with the right mindset and in the most efficient way possible.
Security starts with strong encryption, third-party controls, and expert collaboration. These strategies are key to boosting both compliance and overall resilience!
