Think compliance is just an IT problem? It’s a revenue problem, too. Without it, some contracts will stay out of reach.
In this episode, Jara Rowe talks with Tom Greco, vCISO at Trava Security, about what companies need to know about the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). It’s a Department of Defense requirement that verifies whether companies are securely handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Tom Greco explains what CMMC involves, how scoping affects your readiness, and how to maintain compliance over time. In short, if you want to win or keep federal contracts, CMMC compliance isn’t optional.
