In this episode of the Cuick 10 Podcast, Derek White, Chief Operating Officer of Cuick Trac, is joined by Tom Tollerton, Principal at Forvis Mazars and one of the first reauthorized C3PAOs under the 32 CFR rule.
Tom shares real-world takeaways from the first wave of CMMC Level 2 assessments — including documentation challenges, post-assessment responsibilities, and the critical role of affirming officials. He also talks about what contractors need to consider when selecting a C3PAO and why alignment matters.
Filmed live at CUICON 2025, this conversation gives contractors a behind-the-scenes look at how assessments are evolving — and what it takes to be ready.
