Summary

GAO's latest report on CMMC sounds cautious. They warn about external risks, ecosystem constraints, and gaps in DoD's strategy.

But that framing misses the bigger story.

Since the 2021 report, CMMC has gone from a fragmented concept to a functioning system. The ecosystem exists. Training exists. Small business support is working.

So why does the report feel so negative?

In this episode, we break down where GAO is right, where they're overstating the risk, and why the real story is the program's quiet but meaningful progress.
