The CMMC Truth Problem: When Organizations Don’t Want the Real Answer

Many CMMC programs struggle long before an assessment—not because the requirements are unclear, but because organizations refuse to confront what it will actually take. Leaders dismiss the requirement, assume they can shortcut the work, treat it as an IT problem, or underestimate the time and organizational change involved.

In reality, CMMC Level 2 requires coordinated effort across leadership, operations, HR, legal, and technology. This session explores the “truth problem” practitioners repeatedly encounter in CMMC efforts: when organizations ignore the scope, timeline, and transformation required to succeed. Through real-world stories and practical guidance, the talk will show how practitioners can surface these realities early, shift internal conversations, and help organizations move from avoidance to meaningful progress.

See you there!
