Cutting Through the Noise with Jason Ray
Can Your Shop Really Put CMMC on Pause? - Cutting Through the Noise Ep. 14
The CMMC Phase II pause changed the timeline for third-party assessments, but defense manufacturers still need to protect controlled unclassified information (CUI) and meet the cybersecurity requirements written into their contracts. Paperless Parts Co-Founder and CEO Jason Ray sits down with our CTO Jason Luce and CISO Colton Erickson to discuss what has changed, what remains in place, how shops should respond, and what they should expect from software and AI vendors. They cover: - Why DFARS 252.204-7012 and NIST SP 800-171 still apply - Whether shops should move forward with a CMMC Level 2 assessment - How prime contractors are evaluating their suppliers' cybersecurity posture - The risks of entering CUI into general-purpose AI tools - How inaccurate SPRS scores can create legal exposure - Where to find reliable updates as the CMMC program evolves If your shop handles defense work, this conversation will help you make a more informed decision about your assessment plan and the systems your team uses to manage sensitive data.
