As remote work becomes a permanent fixture in many industries, companies in regulated sectors face a unique challenge: how to enable remote access while maintaining strict data protection standards.
Employees accessing sensitive data from various locations introduce risks related to data leakage, device security, and network vulnerabilities. For organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), this is especially critical.
One effective approach is establishing a CMMC enclave—a secure, isolated environment designed specifically for handling sensitive data in line with federal cybersecurity standards. This model allows remote workers to interact with sensitive systems and information without compromising broader business systems.
By isolating CUI workflows, companies can minimize exposure while continuing to support a flexible workforce. It’s a practical way to bridge the gap between modern work trends and mandatory compliance.
