If you’re in the US GOV space please take note of The Cyber Security Recruiter Podcast as CMMC is becoming very real…….

Very excited to announce Jacob Hill the Founder of the GRC Academy & Director of Cyber Ops at Alamo City Engineering Services Inc

After spending considerable time with Jacob I can truly say this man knows his stuff when it comes to getting your US Gov consultancy CMMC compliant. He’s been there & done it.

He’s also been kind enough to lift ‘the bonnet’ of what you need to do to avoid any logistical or financial nightmares within your organization.With a 12-18 months lead time October 2025 is starting to sounds a little too close for comfort. Be proactive & not reactive! ✌️😀

Let’s do this, let’s get compliant, & let’s protect livelihoods………US Gov related businesses supplying services and/or staff to the DoD sit back relax, take notes, & enjoy. It's time to get some serious value!😊 ☺️👍
