CMMC requirements are becoming a reality for organizations working in the defense industrial base. In this episode of GRF’s On‑The‑Go Podcast, GRF Senior Manager Darren Hulem breaks down what CMMC is, who it applies to, and why government contractors and subcontractors should be paying attention now.

We cover how CMMC differs from past self‑attestation models, the key differences between Levels 1, 2, and 3, common implementation challenges, and practical first steps organizations should be taking today. The discussion also highlights recent enforcement trends and what happens when primes begin pushing requirements down the supply chain.

If you are a prime contractor, subcontractor, or planning to work with the government, this episode explains what CMMC requires and the steps you should be taking now.
