Assessor Notes

Weekly notes from Concura's Lead CMMC assessors on what actually happens to compliance between assessments: configuration drift, continuous monitoring, desired-state baselines, and the records an assessor can read.

Each note is first published on the Concura.AI LinkedIn page and archived here permanently. New notes appear weekly during an active series.
