CMMC Compliance in AWS Cloud Just Got a LOT Easier

CMMC and DFARS compliance is hard - especially in the cloud.

Got AWS? They've given you tools that make compliance much easier!

In this episode, I sit down with Travis Goldbach from Amazon Web Services (AWS) to break down the solutions AWS has created to simplify CMMC and DFARS compliance.

👉 Here are some highlights:

✅ AWS compliance automation - reducing manual effort and risk

✅ Shared Responsibility Model - what AWS secures vs. what you manage

✅ AWS GovCloud vs. Commercial Cloud - choosing the right environment

✅ Landing Zone Accelerator - your shortcut to a secure, compliant AWS setup

✅ How AWS is pursuing its own CMMC certification & what that means for you

I didn't know that AWS was so mature when it came to CMMC and DFARS compliance!

It was really awesome to learn how they are making compliance easier!
