Access control is one of the most fundamental components of cybersecurity. Yet, many breaches still result from overly broad or poorly managed permissions. In regulated industries and among government contractors, strict access control is not just good practice—it’s a compliance requirement.
Organizations that handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must ensure that only authorized personnel can access sensitive data. This involves more than just passwords; it includes user identity verification, role-based access, and audit trails.
A structured CMMC enclave can simplify the application of access controls. By isolating sensitive systems and data, it becomes easier to manage who has access, monitor usage, and revoke permissions when necessary. This isolation also minimizes the attack surface if an account is compromised.
Access control continues to be a cornerstone of compliance strategies. Making it part of a segmented environment helps organizations maintain better visibility and reduce overall risk.
