J. Marcus Webb

J. Marcus Webb is the responsible editor of The Defense Compliance Report, an independent trade publication covering CMMC 2.0 compliance and Defense Industrial Base cybersecurity. He is responsible for editorial decisions, coverage scope, the publication's independence standards, and the editorial and advertising policy that governs provider relationships.

The Defense Compliance Report covers the regulatory and commercial landscape of CMMC 2.0 — the assessment requirements, certification paths, provider categories, and cost ranges that DIB companies face as the DoD's phased enforcement schedule advances. Editorial coverage is grounded in primary-source citation to 32 CFR Part 170, NIST SP 800-171 Revision 2, DFARS clause text, and Cyber AB published guidance.

The publication does not accept editorial-approval rights from sponsors or provider partners. Named provider recommendations, when published, will carry documented credential status, compensation relationship status, evaluation depth, and a verification date. Current coverage is category-level; named provider reviews are published separately as they meet the publication's verification standard.
