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.
