A Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) is a formal document used within the CMMC ecosystem to track security deficiencies identified during a formal assessment. It serves as a regulatory roadmap, outlining the specific tasks, resources, and timelines an organization will use to remediate non-compliant controls.
