Transcript:
My name is Morgan Montague. I am a senior solutions consultant, and this is The People Behind C3.
What does it mean to be in sales at C3?
Here at C3, we have a very dynamic sales environment. We are constantly adapting to the new rules and regulations that come out from the federal government regarding various forms of compliance, whether that be NIST or CMMC. We need to stay on our toes and be ready to tackle the issues that our clients are facing.
What changes have you seen in the industry?
In our industry, we’ve seen a lot of changes over the past couple of years. While the regulations themselves haven’t changed much, the timing certainly has. There’s been a bit of a mad dash to get compliant. Everyone is picking up the phone and deciding to take action, and if you haven’t, you’re probably already behind.
What changes do you hope to see in the industry?
I hope to see a change in the belief in CMMC. I know that people aren’t always on board or ready to spend the money, but I hope they realize how important it is for national security. This isn’t just about compliance—it’s about protecting the country as a whole.
What advice would you give a company who’s just starting their journey in risk management?
My advice for those getting started is to make sure you have a plan in place. I see a lot of people jump in and start buying different software, trying to piece together a solution. At C3, we have a purpose-built solution ready to guide you from point A to B when it comes to compliance. Don’t be the one buying everything just because it looks good on LinkedIn or Google. That’s the fastest way to overspend. Enter this space with a plan, know what you need, and work with a provider who can help you reach your goals.
