Navigating CMMC Compliance in 2025: How Adlumin MDR Supports Your Journey

As CMMC requirements evolve, organizations working with the U.S. Department of Defense must demonstrate robust cybersecurity controls – especially for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Adlumin MDR can help you confidently meet these requirements, streamline compliance, and safeguard sensitive data.

CUI Protection: Built for CMMC

Adlumin MDR recognizes that CUI handling is at the heart of CMMC compliance. To support customers, Adlumin has implemented technical controls that disable CUI data retrieval by default for all MDR customers. This ensures that your environment is protected from unauthorized access to CUI, aligning with the latest CMMC requirements and giving you peace of mind when pursuing government contracts.

• Universal CUI Data Restriction: As of September 2025, Adlumin MDR no longer retrieves CUI data from customer environments, helping to eliminate compliance risks and simplify audits.
