Lying on a CMMC self-attestation is not a breach of contract, it is fraud, and the penalties are far worse than most defense contractors realize. False Claims Act attorney Julie Bracker has personally filed over fifty cyber fraud cases, including Georgia Tech and Penn State, and explains exactly how these cases unfold.
Jake Seller sits down with Julie Bracker, a False Claims Act attorney who has worked FCA cases since 2004 and now focuses on cybersecurity fraud tied to NIST 800-171 and CMMC. This conversation covers the real financial and criminal exposure facing government contractors who misrepresent their compliance status.
This episode is for defense contractors, government contractors, IT directors, CISOs, compliance professionals, and anyone in the defense industrial base responsible for signing a CMMC or NIST 800-171 self-attestation. If your organization has ever estimated a SPRS score rather than calculated it from real evidence, this conversation explains exactly what is at stake.
