CMMC Disaster: What MSPs Aren't Telling You

Your MSP could be a CMMC disaster. 💥💣💥

I wish I was joking.

In this episode I speak with Joy Beland about the critical role IT Managed Service Providers (MSPs) play in the CMMC space and why so many of them will cause their clients to fail their CMMC assessments.

Here are some of the highlights:

  • The NEW critical CMMC requirement for MSPs
  • Why so many MSPs will cause their clients to fail CMMC assessments
  • Why MSPs SHOULD still get CMMC certified
  • Questions to ask your MSP to gauge their CMMC readiness

Joy is the Vice President of Cybersecurity Compliance at Summit 7 and brings over 20 years of experience as a former MSP owner. Summit 7 is a specialized MSP exclusively supporting defense contractors.

If you use an MSP, don't just assume that everything is OK and your MSP has it all covered.

It's highly likely that they do NOT and you'll FAIL your CMMC assessment because of them.

There are some great CMMC-focused MSPs out there, but the majority of MSPs have NO BUSINESS supporting defense contractors.

Choose wisely!
