What does getting certified actually look like — in time, cost, and effort? Host Nathan Austin, Eric Vollbrecht, and Jesse Jarvie trade theory for real stories from the field, including one company's $170k, six-to-seven-month journey to certification.

They also tackle the most common misconceptions holding companies back ("my MSP already handles this," "there aren't enough assessors") and lay out where to start, even if you're not ready to commit to full certification yet.
