CompassMSP will be at MES IT Security: A Tactical Playbook for IT Professionals Tackling Today’s Security Challenges

Location: Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL
Dates: March 16-17, 2026
Event Details: MES IT Security

What is CMES IT Security and Why Does it Matter for IT Leaders?

The Midsize Enterprise Summit IT Security (MES IT Security) is an event designed for IT professionals who are charged with shaping, defending, and accelerating their organization’s cybersecurity strategy. Dedicated to the midmarket - a segment that often lacks the deep resources of enterprise teams but still faces enterprise-grade threats - MES IT Security delivers targeted insights, peer collaboration, and tactical guidance from the vanguard of cybersecurity thought leadership.

For IT directors, CISOs, security architects, and IT security managers, this event is not about general technology trends; it’s about cybersecurity challenges you face this quarter, this year, and beyond - and how to operationalize defenses that work in real environments with real constraints.

Unlike broad-spectrum technology conferences, MES IT Security zeros in on midmarket security strategy - a sweet spot where complexity and risk collide without the budgets or bench strength of Fortune 500 security teams. The event’s format blends:

Live keynotes from industry experts
Interactive boardroom and whiteboarding sessions
Peer-to-peer discussions and real-world scenario planning
Market intelligence and threat trend briefings
Networking events that foster strategic partnerships

Why CompassMSP is at MES IT Security

At MES IT Security, Compass’s role is to help IT professionals translate market intelligence and strategic insight into defensible outcomes across their security ecosystem.

Here’s how we partner with IT leaders to solve real, pressing challenges:

Cybersecurity Posture Assessments Grounded in Real Risk: We start by measuring what matters. Too many security programs are built around compliance checklists rather than business risk.
Security Roadmaps that Drive Execution: Security leaders often know what they want to achieve but struggle with how to get there.
Options that Elevate Security Maturity: Midmarket organizations often lack the manpower to monitor, detect, and respond to threats 24/7.

Compass is attending CUI-CON to connect with and equip teams who are just starting their CMMC compliance efforts - bringing clarity, frameworks, and strategic guidance to an audience that must transform cybersecurity from technical requirement to business imperative.

At the CompassMSP booth, attendees will learn how we help:

Translate CMMC Requirements into Actionable Plans: Many contractors struggle with where to start. CompassMSP helps break down requirements into clear, business-aligned steps, not just checklists.
Build Evidence-Driven Compliance Frameworks: We guide companies in creating well-structured artifacts that stand up to assessors and reduce audit risk.
Align Cybersecurity with Business Objectives: CMMC isn’t just an IT project - it’s an executive-level priority. We help leaders align security investments with operational goals, risk tolerance, and contract opportunities.

In an era where cybersecurity isn’t just a technical domain but a business-critical priority, MES IT Security provides the context, clarity, and community that IT professionals need to excel.

CompassMSP's focus on practical implementation, collaboration, and threat-forward security strategy aligns perfectly with how modern IT departments define success - not by certifications or checklists, but by real security outcomes that protect value, enable growth, and manage risk with precision.

If you’re an IT professional focused on cybersecurity resilience, strategy, and execution, MES IT Security 2026 is an event where you’ll find clarity, connection, and confidence on the path forward. Connect with us there.
