Welcome to another episode of Mostly Compliant, hosted by Matt Bruggeman, Director of Federal GTM at A-LIGN.

In this episode, Matt is joined by Jacob Horne, Chief Security Evangelist at Summit 7 and a leading expert in cybersecurity compliance for the Aerospace and Defense industry. Together, they explore the challenges contractors face as CMMC becomes enforceable, including the risks of last-minute preparation, misconceptions about self-assessments, and the critical role of procurement timelines. Matt and Jacob also discuss the overconfidence many organizations have in their compliance status and the importance of acting now to avoid costly missteps.
