Episode Description
CMMC compliance isn’t just about cybersecurity — it’s about legal accountability.
As enforcement strengthens, inaccurate reporting, false attestations, or overstated compliance could expose contractors to False Claims Act (FCA) liability. That means compliance failures aren’t just operational risks — they can become serious legal and financial consequences.
In this episode, we break down how CMMC and the False Claims Act intersect, and what contractors must do to protect themselves.
🎙️ Key Topics Covered:
- How FCA liability applies to CMMC compliance
- The risks of inaccurate SPRS scores and affirmations
- What “truthful representation” means under DoD expectations
- Real consequences of misreporting compliance status
- How to reduce legal exposure through proper documentation and controls
CMMC isn’t just about passing an assessment — it’s about standing behind your claims.
