Real insights from the CMMC compliance front lines.
Under CMMC Phase 2, a senior executive must personally certify full compliance — creating real False Claims Act liability that most defense contractors are not prepared for.
With only 6,000–7,500 annual assessment slots for 30,000+ contractors, C3PAO availability is the real bottleneck — and the contractors who waited are already losing contracts.
FCI contractors are technically compliant but can't get assessed — because the supply of certified assessors cannot meet demand, and this bottleneck isn't going away in the next 12 months.
Passing your CMMC assessment is just step one — the findings list that follows can carry a $73K–$150K price tag that most defense contractors never budgeted for.
Contractors who build zero trust architecture into their CMMC remediation roadmap save 25–40% and finish six months faster than those who treat them as separate initiatives.
Passing your CMMC assessment doesn't mean you're actually secure — and contractors who architect zero trust as their compliance foundation will outlast those who don't.
ManageEngine isn't your problem — unclarity about what your tools actually demonstrate is — and your migration window closes long before your CMMC assessment date.
