About this listen

 For decades, government contractors and regulated SMBs have been trapped inside compliance checkboxes - it's time for change. They’re on the lookout for real security solutions, and Trust Issues is where that conversation begins. Produced by BEMO and hosted by Bruno Lecoq, the show pulls back the curtain on what’s actually happening inside the CMMC, GRC, and cybersecurity ecosystem. Each episode brings together auditors, implementers, GRC platforms, and business leaders to unpack CMMC, zero trust, and modern security. With every conversation, we decode the “industry drama” and explore what it really takes to build secure, resilient, and audit-ready organizations using Microsoft-centric security and practical GRC frameworks. Tune in and learn how to turn compliance into a competitive advantage.BEMO Economics Management Management & Leadership Politics & Government

  • The CMMC Myth That's Costing SMBs Millions

    The CMMC Myth That's Costing SMBs Millions
    Apr 28 2026
    The CMMC journey is a lot harder than people think it is, and we’re unpacking the truth on this episode of Trust Issues. Tune in as hosts Brandon and Bruno Lecoq sit down with Raymond King, Senior Customer Success Manager at BEMO, to unpack the real CMMC compliance journey - from the initial self-assessment through final audit. Raymond reveals why most companies dramatically underestimate the work involved, how culture determines success or failure faster than any tool ever will and why self-attested compliance is essentially meaningless until a third party verifies it. Turns out CMMC really isn't a checkbox - it's a foundational shift in how your entire organization operates.

    The CMMC Trap: Why Certification Isn’t Compliance

    Discipline is the difference between winning and losing - even in the world of security and compliance. In this episode of Trust Issues, hosts Brandon and Bruno Lecoq welcome Cindy Oliveto, Senior Director of Operations at BEMO, to break down why government contractors struggle with certification, how to avoid the "checkbox trap,” and why automation and clear ownership are non-negotiable for real compliance success. This episode serves as a critical reminder that you can have all the certifications in the world, but without operational discipline, they amount to naught.

  • Why Security Complacency is the CEO's Greatest Mistake

    Why Security Complacency is the CEO's Greatest Mistake
    Apr 14 2026
    You wouldn’t drive a car without insurance, would you? Then why run a company without giving security the utmost thought? In this episode of Trust Issues, Brandon Lecoq and Bruno Lecoq, CEO/CISO at BEMO, confront the uncomfortable truth about cybersecurity in SMBs: size doesn't determine risk, security hygiene does. Drawing on real-world attacks from BEMO's 478-client base, Bruno shares critical Microsoft security data, insider threat case studies, and the deceptively simple attack methods that catch most organizations off guard. The conversation leaves the noise behind, focusing on what actually stops attackers and why so many SMBs remain dangerously unprepared.
