Presenter: Mark Jennings, founder, OTX Partners The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program final rule is in the books. After more than five years in development, we now know exactly what is required of contractors in the defense industrial base (DIB) in order to secure contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense. More importantly for MSPs, we now know how IT managed services fit into the program. For the first time, MSPs are directly connected to their clients' compliance requirements regarding the services they provide. Stipulations within the rule specifically state that the services and assets of external service providers, which include MSPs, are within the scope the contractor's CMMC Assessment. Failure of an MSP to provide adequate documentation and evidence of compliance with the requirements will cause the contractor to fail its CMMC Assessment, a costly mistake. This can put millions, if not billions, of dollars at risk for the contractor. Contractors in the DIB will be more selective of the MSPs they hire, ensuring they can provide evidence of compliance. In some cases, contractors will require full CMMC Level 2 certification of their MSPs. What You Will Learn: Details of the CMMC program and what it entails The underlying set of controls that must be in place to meet the certification requirements What it means to be compliant How MSPs fit into the assessment process Unique challenges that office technology/MSP organizations face Strategies to limit the scope of CMMC requirements within your MSP What to expect from clients doing business within the DIB The implementation timing and the four-phase rollout plan
