CMMC is not SOC 2. Every CMMC control has defined assessment objectives. SC.L2-3.13.1 (Boundary Protection) has 8 of them. If you meet 7 out of 8, the control is NOT MET. There is no gray area. No compensating narrative. No auditor exercising judgment on whether a control is "suitably designed." The assessment objectives are binary. Met or not met. Every single one. SOC 2 has room for interpretation. CMMC does not. This is what makes it different from every other compliance framework most people have worked in. And it is also what makes it engineerable. If the criteria are binary, we can build systems that validate them programmatically. #CMMC #GRCEngineering
