Government contractors face data storage and encryption requirements that go well beyond what most commercial businesses have to think about, and the standards keep tightening.
Requirements often specify how data must be encrypted at rest and in transit, where it can be stored, and what access controls have to be in place, details that a general-purpose IT setup usually isn't built to satisfy out of the box.
For contractors working toward or maintaining CMMC compliance, data storage architecture is one of the areas that gets the closest scrutiny during an assessment.
Getting this right from the start avoids a scramble later when a contract renewal or new opportunity requires proof that storage and encryption standards are actually being met.
For government contractors, how much visibility do you currently have into exactly where your sensitive data is stored and how it's encrypted?
