Remote work has expanded rapidly, and for many businesses—including those supporting government contracts—it’s no longer just a perk. But with this shift comes a new challenge: keeping sensitive information secure while allowing employees to work from anywhere.
When teams connect through home networks, personal devices, and public Wi-Fi, it’s harder to control how data is accessed and shared. That’s a concern for organizations handling sensitive data like Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), which must be protected under specific federal guidelines.
To address these risks, organizations are creating stricter boundaries between general business operations and sensitive workstreams. One approach is to use dedicated secure environments that limit who can access what, and how. A CMMC enclave, for example, provides a controlled space within a company’s IT system designed specifically to meet compliance standards.
Setting clearer boundaries helps teams work safely—without disrupting productivity—and supports long-term compliance in remote-friendly workplaces.
