  • Weekly CMMC Q&A: 3.6.26
    Mar 6 2026

    A question we often hear: how can businesses be expected to defend themselves against nation states?
    Typically people don't realize how even nation states routinely use well known techniques with known mitigations and detection signatures.
    Turns out that some pretty boring, evergreen cybersecurity practices that have been around for decades are still extremely effective.
    But you have to actually do them.
    We answer all kinds of questions on the Hotline every week.
    Stop by this Friday and we'll spend some extra time talking about how a 10 year-old security standard still punches above it's weight relative to everything goin on in the world these days.

  • Weekly CMMC Q&A: 2.27.26
    Feb 28 2026

    We're only 15 weeks into the CMMC phased rollout and the DoD is crushing their Level 2 certification estimate.
    Originally the department was shooting for 517 Level 2 certifications in the first year.
    We're barely over 100 days in and we're already nearly double that number.
    There's just 181 days left until the start of phase 2.
    Have questions? Stop by the hotline and we'll answer them live!

  • Weekly CMMC Q&A: 2.13.26
    Feb 13 2026

    We all have a lot of questions after the Super Bowl.
    - How does it feel to cut a 14-win QB only to watch him win a Super Bowl the next year?
    - Who had Sam Darnold as the first QB from the 2018 draft class to win a Super Bowl?
    - Why did the DoD make the largest non-CMMC change to DFARS cybersecurity clauses since 2020 and fail to, ya know, fail tell anyone about it?
    Luckily we sit down every Friday at 1pm EST to answer important questions like these - LIVE!

    Feb 6 2026

    People overestimate the difference between NIST SP 800-171r2 and r3.
    They underestimate the difference between CMMC Level 2 and Level 3.
    Not sure about the difference or why it matters?
    Come hang out on the Hotline and we'll answer your questions live!

  • Weekly CMMC Q&A: 1.30.26
    Jan 30 2026

    We're still 41 weeks away from the start of CMMC Phase 2.
    Yet, many defense contractors are finding out that the "phased roll-out" has virtually no bearing on when they will receive a 3rd-party assessment requirement.
    People who tuned into the weekly CUI Hotline knew what was coming.
    Not sure? Tune in each Friday and we'll answer your CMMC/DFARS/NIST questions live!

  • Weekly CMMC Q&A: 1.23.26
    Jan 27 2026

    We're 2.5 months into the CMMC roll-out.
    The most common type of call we get these days:
    Defense contractors we originally spoke with 3-4 years ago who decided to "wait and see" what would happen.
    It's a big reason why we're answering the same questions today that we did in 2022.
    That's also why we started the weekly hotline!
