Marking a CMMC control as “Not Applicable” might feel like an easy shortcut but get it wrong, and you could fail your assessment, lose contracts, or even face legal trouble.

In this episode of The CMMC Compliance Guide, Brooke and Stacey from Justice IT Consulting break down the real risks of misusing N/A, share common mistakes companies make, and explain how to properly justify a not applicable control so you stay compliant and avoid False Claims Act issues.

We cover everything from Wi-Fi misconceptions to remote access oversights, mobile device scoping, assessor validation methods, and the legal risks nobody talks about. Whether you’re a one-person shop or managing a complex network, these insights could save you from major headaches come assessment day.
