AEC Podcast 19: CMMC Shutdown
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode we read through the Department of War's Press Release on the pause of CMMC Phase II requirements and explore what this pause could mean for the future of the Defense Industrial Base. We also look at the reaction of government agencies like the SBA to see what the reasoning was behind the suspension, and if this could be beneficial for the DIB moving forward.
