Description

CMMC rolls out in a few months and there are STILL companies who are JUST getting started!

In this episode I’m joined by Daniel Akridge of Summit 7 to talk about the real challenges facing the Defense Industrial Base - and the FASTEST path to CMMC certification.

To CUI Enclave, or not to CUI enclave - that is the question!

👉 Here are some of the highlights:

• What the big primes are saying about their subs and CMMC
• The biggest CMMC hurdles for defense contractors
• Why MOST DoD contracts could require CMMC Level 2 certification - not just self-attestation
• Deep dive into CUI enclaves and their pros and cons

I personally like CUI enclaves because it keeps government cybersecurity regulations and incident reporting requirements out of my corporate IT environment...

However if you are a small business that primarily supports the DoD, CUI enclaves begin to make less sense - even as I try to reason otherwise!

What were your biggest takeaways? Do you LUV CUI enclaves?? Let me know in the comments!
