As cybersecurity compliance standards continue to evolve, many small to mid-sized contractors find themselves overwhelmed by documentation, policy updates, and shifting controls. This phenomenon—often referred to as compliance fatigue—can lead to missed updates, audit errors, or even burnout among IT and compliance teams.
One of the most effective ways to combat this fatigue is by simplifying the compliance scope. Rather than applying controls across your entire IT infrastructure, isolating sensitive operations within a dedicated CMMC enclave can significantly reduce the effort involved.
By narrowing the focus, teams can concentrate on fewer endpoints, users, and data types, making it easier to implement and track security controls. This not only eases day-to-day operations but also reduces the risk of noncompliance during formal assessments.
In a fast-paced compliance landscape, simplicity is no longer a luxury—it’s a survival strategy.
