Unsecurity Episode 261: CMMC Delay and Compliance Costs with Eric Vollbrecht and Nathan Austin
In this episode of Unsecurity, Megan, Brad, Nathan, and Eric unpack the recent 60-day pause on CMMC Phase 2 requirements and what it really means for contractors and subcontractors.
The conversation goes beyond the headline to explore the ongoing importance of self-attestation, the risks of false claims, and why compliance is still very much on the clock.
The team also breaks down the real costs of becoming assessment-ready, from initial scoping and technical debt to policy work, evidence collection, and third-party assessments.
Along the way, they explain why shortcuts and “easy button” solutions can create bigger problems later, and why due diligence matters when choosing a compliance partner.
If your organization is weighing whether CMMC is worth the investment, this episode offers a grounded look at the business, security, and operational tradeoffs involved.
