In this episode of The Brief, Charles Denyer continues his 8-part CMMC series by breaking down Step 2: CUI Ingestion—how Controlled Unclassified Information actually enters your environment and why this is where most organizations lose control of their compliance scope. Building on the foundation established in Episode 26, Charles explains that defining CUI is only the beginning. The real challenge lies in controlling how that data flows into your systems through contracts, vendors, email, file transfers, and internal processes. He walks through a structured, workbook-driven methodology for identifying ingestion points, validating incoming data, restricting approved channels, and aligning all entry points to your system boundary. This episode makes one thing clear: if you cannot control how CUI enters your environment, your scope is already compromised. And if your scope is not controlled, your compliance program will not withstand assessment.
