Shop Floor Showdown: CMMC and Manufacturing with Daniel Stark

Interview with Daniel Stark about CMMC compliance challenges in manufacturing.

Think your users are resistant to CMMC? You ain’t seen nothin’ yet!

In this episode, Jacob speaks with Daniel Stark of Meerkat Cyber about the unique CMMC compliance challenges in a manufacturing environment.

Here are some highlights:

  • Daniel’s experience running IT in a family-owned manufacturing shop
  • How Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) flows on the shop floor
  • Physical and environmental security constraints unique to manufacturing
  • How ISO 9001 / AS9100 can help get the buy in for CMMC
  • Advice for manufacturing IT staff dealing with CMMC compliance
  • Tips on hiring the right CMMC consultant and assessor

I really enjoyed learning more about how machine shops operate and the unique challenges they have when it comes to CMMC compliance!

Manufacturing is an extremely different type of environment and requires a specific background and skillset to assess!

It’s awesome that there are folks in the CMMC ecosystem that are familiar with that type of environment! Hire wisely, folks!
