Project 38: The Future Of Federal Contracting

Alba Aleman, Citizant CEO and recognized small business advocate, explains that small businesses should embrace the Defense Department's new cybersecurity requirements for contractors as both a way of differentiating themselves and path to being a stronger organization instead of seeing it as a burden. In fact, Aleman believes the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification standard should have been made mandatory years ago. For this episode, she explains how her company approaches CMMC as a quality issue and one that will have benefits across of all of Citizant. It's an example both large and small businesses can follow.
