Think your users are resistant to CMMC? You ain't seen nothin' yet! In this episode, Jacob speaks with Daniel Stark of Meerkat Cyber about the unique CMMC compliance challenges in a manufacturing environment. Here are some highlights: Daniel's experience running IT in a family-owned manufacturing shopHow Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) flows on the shop floorPhysical and environmental security constraints unique to manufacturingHow ISO 9001 / AS9100 can help get the buy in for CMMCAdvice for manufacturing IT staff dealing with CMMC complianceTips on hiring the right CMMC consultant and assessorI really enjoyed learning more about how machine shops operate and the unique challenges they have when it comes to CMMC compliance! It's awesome that there are folks in the CMMC ecosystem that are familiar with manufacturers! Manufacturing is an extremely different type of environment and in my opinion "normal" office IT assessment experience won't cut it. Hire wisely, folks!
