One of the most misunderstood topics in cybersecurity compliance isn't the controls—it's scoping. In this episode of Cyber Sitrep, Eric and Mike dive into CMMC scoping and explain why defining your assessment boundary correctly is one of the most important steps in achieving compliance. What systems are actually in scope? What can be excluded? And why do so many organizations get this wrong? If you've ever found yourself asking, "Does this system need to be included?" or "Where do we draw the line?"—this episode is for you. Whether you're preparing for a CMMC assessment, supporting Department of Defense contracts, or simply trying to better understand compliance requirements, we break down the concepts in a practical, real-world way.
