Choose the right perspective
Match the person's setting to yours, since running CMMC work at a small manufacturer with a lean IT team differs from a program inside a large aerospace or defense company. Also ask whether their work centered on technical controls, documentation and assessment readiness, or program management across business units, because each covers a different part of the effort.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How did you scope which systems and data fell under CMMC, and how did you reduce that scope?
- 02Which NIST 800-171 controls took the most effort to put in place, and why?
- 03How did you prepare people and evidence for an assessment, and what kept the controls in place afterward?
