CMMC Timeline Refresher

Episode notes

What better way to usher in the new normal of CMMC than a quick refresher on how and why CMMC became a thing in the first place? Nothing helps contextualize the CMMC program like remembering how resistant the DoD has been to third party verification until they were left with no other choice.
