Trust Issues · 2026-07-07 · 27 min
Mock audits can be the difference between catching a fixable issue early and paying full price to start over. And yet, people still don’t take them seriously. In this episode of Trust Issues, Brandon and Bruno Lecoq welcome Cindy Oliveto, Senior Director, Operations at BEMO back to the show to talk through what actually happens during a mock audit, why it gives companies a safer way to spot gaps, and how it can help avoid expensive delays during the real certification process. From non-POAMable controls and C3PAO scheduling problems to clear-text password spreadsheets and the very real danger of treating CMMC like an IT-only project, this conversation is a practical look at what readiness really means.
