Frequently Asked Questions
How many NIST 800-171 controls does Egress cover?
Egress covers 5 of 110 NIST 800-171 controls (5%), with 3 partially covered and 3 gaps.
Can Egress alone satisfy CMMC Level 2?
No single tool covers all 110 NIST 800-171 controls. Egress covers 5% and should be part of a layered security stack addressing the remaining controls.
What controls does Egress not cover?
Egress does not cover controls ia-3-5-1, pe-3-10-1, cm-3-4-1. These require supplementary solutions such as physical security controls, additional access management, or media protection tools.
