Why this matters for Manufacturing / DIB
ITAR controlled data lives in collaboration tools
Export-controlled files, sharing edges, and identity controls need evidence before an audit.
IP exfiltration risk is tenant risk
Mailbox rules, OAuth grants, weak MFA, and external sharing turn IP into an exposure path.
What we audit
Access Control (AC)
MFA, privileged roles, guest access, and Conditional Access analyzer output.
Audit & Accountability (AU)
Unified audit log posture, retention, and evidence completeness.
Incident Response (IR)
Attack-path context, alert coverage, and response-ready reports.
Identification & Authentication (IA)
Identity Lifecycle, stale accounts, service principals, and provisioning health.
Configuration Management (CM)
Baseline drift, change center, policy posture, and remediation evidence.
Data Protection
SharePoint classification, DLP coverage, sensitivity labels, and external sharing.
Compliance coverage
NIST 800-171 + CMMC L1/L2/L3 · ITAR export-control alignment · DFARS 252.204-7012 · ISO 27001 · SOC 2. The Compliance Crosswalk maps NIST 800-171 and CMMC simultaneously so one evidence item can satisfy multiple control families.
