Trust is no longer implied. It’s evaluated. Enterprise buyers now assess suppliers based on: • Access control discipline • Incident readiness • Data handling maturity • Governance consistency CMMC provides a common language for that evaluation. Instead of endless custom assessments, organizations aligned with CMMC can demonstrate trust once, and reuse it everywhere. CMMC isn’t just compliance. It’s a vendor trust framework. https://lnkd.in/etQtcRHm

Effective inventory and asset management involves tracking both monitorable and non-monitorable assets to ensure comprehensive oversight. Managing assets inside and outside the perimeter presents challenges, particularly with the limitations of patching, which may not fully address vulnerabilities. Threats to the digital supply chain, such as supply chain attacks targeting software vendors and open-source solutions, highlight the importance of robust security measures. Maintaining compliance with regulatory standards is essential to avoid penalties and ensure operational efficiency.
