NDIA data shows that 30% - 40% of defense contractors have no FTEs working on IT/security.Despite the ongoing CMMC Program Review, there simply isn't a way that the government can rewrite cyber requirements such that a company with zero staff would suddenly understand what needs to get done.ITAR? NIST? DFARS? PQC? MFA? CMMC?People need more help than the government is willing or capable of providing.That's why we go live every Friday at 10am PST.All questions welcome.

Over the course 100 livestreams we have answered thousands of questions about everything from CMMC to DFARS to ITAR to NIST.Scoping, configuration, policy predictions, you name it.During that time it's been hard not to notice the bigger picture:- On the one hand the DoD is taking their sweet time to let contractors know what the plan is for cyber requirements moving forward. - On the other, the DoD is also the first one who will decide to cut off your work when you don't meet requirements.- Meanwhile, the number of official DoD resources to help people understand, implement, and verify all of the cyber requirements other than CMMC remains at zero."Hurry up and wait" for CMMC updates doesn't help anyone meet their existing requirements and that's pretty unfair.That's why our weekly livestream is free every Friday.

The recent rumor of a change in CMMC policy to include an extension to 2028 is another reason why you should like, subscribe, and tune in every Friday for the CUI Hotline.There hasn't been any extension. Unfortunately, people are unaware of what the CMMC regulation has said since September 2025.Discovering that information for the first time while looking for updates regarding the Phase 2 suspension causes a lot of confidently incorrect takes everywhere from social media to marketing campaigns to actual reporting in industry publications.Bad information makes it hard to plan and strategize.That's why we host a livestream every Friday at 1pm EST.NIST, DFARS, CMMC, ITAR, FedRAMP, policy, technical, you name it.Don't let bad information put you on the wrong path.
