Data Governance Implementations for the DoD Based on Lessons Learned from CMMC with AvePoint

The introduction of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) to the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) comes with a renewed emphasis on securing Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) across all layers of the DoD supply chain. \n\nFor DoD agencies and DIB contractors who are subject to CMMC, Microsoft 365 offers robust tools like DLP and AIP to protect content at the file level. However, to ensure CUI remains secure, IT requires an additional layer of control over where the data resides in their environment (i.e. Teams, SharePoint). \n\nStriking the balance between enabling end-users to collaborate efficiently while maintaining secure control over these collaboration workspaces requires a strong data governance strategy to be in place. \n\nIn this podcast, listen to AvePoint Public Sector's Principal Solution Engineer, Jay Leask, and C3 Integrated Solutions President, Bill Wootton, to learn how organizations across the DIB are implementing smart data governance strategies to navigate the following challenges in their M365 environments: \n\n\u2022\tReporting \n\u2022\tDecentralized provisioning \n\u2022\tControl over membership \n\u2022\tInadvertent sharing \n\u2022\tData classification \n\u2022\tWorkspace recertification \n\u2022\tLifecycle management
