What Happens When a Government Contractor Fails a Compliance Audit?

Blog Article

Failing a compliance audit can lead to contract suspension, data breach exposure, and even debarment from future government work. But these risks often stem not from willful negligence—but from inadequate cloud environments and misaligned IT strategy.






The Most Common Audit Red Flags




  • Data stored in commercial cloud environments




  • Inadequate logging and monitoring




  • Lack of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)




  • Incomplete documentation of CUI protection protocols




These gaps are especially critical for organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
