CMMC 2.0 Domain 8: Media Protection (MP) Explained

Sensitive data doesn’t just live on your network — it lives on devices, drives, and removable media.

In this video, we break down the Media Protection (MP) domain in CMMC 2.0 and why controlling how data is stored, transported, and destroyed is critical for compliance.

Many businesses focus on network security but overlook physical and removable media. That gap can lead to data exposure through lost devices, unsecured USB drives, or improper disposal.

In this video, you’ll learn:

What Media Protection means under CMMC 2.0 and NIST SP 800-171
Why controlling physical media is essential for protecting CUI
The risks of removable media like USB drives and external hard drives
Common gaps like lack of encryption, no usage policies, and improper disposal practices
What assessors look for when evaluating media handling procedures

This domain ensures that sensitive data is protected not just digitally, but physically — from creation to disposal.

If your organization doesn’t control how data moves outside your systems, you’re leaving a major gap in your security posture.

This video is part of our full CMMC domain series designed to make compliance clear and actionable.
