Recklesss Compliance
A Federal Security & Compliance career is a very rewarding career - we get the honor and privilege of protecting some of the most guarded assets of our great country. However, it doesn’t come without a cost. We often take the brunt of the beating when it comes to the regulations that are impeding innovation.
Join federal security professional Max Aulakh as he distills the challenges facing our career field, pulling back the curtain on culture, emerging technical knowledge, ATOs, CMMC and various federal cyber frameworks.
Each episode is jam-packed with powerful information to cut through the noise. We will break down tools, tips and techniques to help you get better and to quickly get through the federal accreditation processes. It doesn’t matter what type of systems or technology you are dealing with, if you have heard of or are familiar with terms like STIGS, SAP, SAR, FedRAMP, and ConMON or newer terms like cATO, Big Bang, OSCAL, CMMC and SBOMs - we will break it all down.
