In this episode of the Cuick 10 Podcast, filmed live at #CUICON 2025, Derek White, Chief Operating Officer of Cuick Trac, is joined by Carter Schoenberg, Vice President & Chief Cybersecurity Officer at SoundWay Consulting, to discuss the often-misunderstood divide between DFARS contract requirements and CMMC Level 2 assessments.

Carter shares what he’s seen across dozens of readiness reviews and client assessments—including how organizations are still falling short when it comes to incident response planning, asset inventory, and understanding their obligations. He also explains why contractors should be getting on a C3PAO’s schedule sooner rather than later—before the demand outpaces capacity.
