Organizations working with government agencies often rely on a network of third-party vendors. While this ecosystem supports operational efficiency, it also introduces cybersecurity and compliance risks—especially when Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) is involved.
Effective third-party risk management includes verifying that vendors follow security protocols, regularly assessing their compliance status, and ensuring they don’t become weak links in your data protection strategy.
Some organizations take an added step by creating a CMMC enclave—a secure, isolated environment for managing CUI. This approach helps mitigate third-party risks by limiting access to sensitive data within a tightly controlled perimeter.
By combining strong vendor oversight with enclave-based isolation, businesses can better safeguard their operations and stay aligned with government compliance frameworks.
