Ep. 126: When Security Pressure Hits, Data Readiness Shows
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Security frameworks and regulations may change, but the underlying challenge stays the same: Many organizations still struggle to understand their data — how it moves, where it lives, and who is responsible for protecting it.
In this #shifthappens episode, Summit 7 Systems CEO Scott Edwards explores what today’s defense and government supply chains reveal about security readiness, using Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) as a practical pressure point. Drawing on real‑world examples from contractors, subcontractors, and multinational organizations, the conversation examines gaps in data security, classification, and ownership. It also highlights the disconnect between AI adoption and basic security hygiene across defense and government supply chains. Together, these challenges show why security readiness must be led at the organizational level.
