CMMC reshapes how defense contractors secure CUI. One of the most critical components of CMMC compliance is incident response (IR)—the ability to detect, respond to, and recover from cybersecurity incidents while meeting strict reporting and documentation requirements.

Under the final CMMC rule, contractors at Level 2 and above must implement formalized IR policies, procedures, and continuous monitoring capabilities to maintain compliance. Without a well-structured IR plan, organizations risk non-compliance, loss of contract eligibility, and significant security breaches.

SOC 2 compliance is a crucial standard for organizations that handle sensitive customer data, particularly cloud service providers and SaaS businesses. However, achieving and maintaining SOC 2 compliance is no small feat. The traditional audit process can be time-consuming, complex, and expensive, requiring extensive documentation, evidence collection, and control monitoring.

Automation revolutionizes compliance by reducing human error, streamlining audits, and ensuring continuous security monitoring. Organizations that leverage automation tools can minimize audit preparation time, improve security posture, and demonstrate compliance more efficiently.

Adopting hybrid cloud systems—blending private on-premises infrastructure with public cloud services—has surged as organizations seek scalability, cost-efficiency, and flexibility. However, securing Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in these environments remains a critical challenge. These systems will use encryption to protect this data… but hybrid clouds introduce unique complexities due to data mobility, shared responsibility models, and varying compliance requirements. 

This article explores robust encryption strategies for safeguarding CUI in hybrid cloud architectures.
