Cut the B.S.
What to Do About CMMC, and When

A practical way to figure out what matters now, what can wait, and what to do next.

CMMC gets messy fast. There’s a lot of advice, a lot of noise, and a lot of pressure to buy tools or fix everything at once. That’s usually where teams get into trouble.

The real challenge is knowing what to do first, when something actually affects your SPRS score, where your CUI boundary should sit, and what evidence you need to capture along the way. We’ll walk through the decisions that matter, in the order they matter, and give you a practical 30-, 60-, and 90-day plan you can actually use. Built for small and mid-sized defense contractors, IT leaders, and executives responsible for CMMC readiness and affirmation.

You’ll leave with:

  • A clearer picture of what matters right now
  • A better way to evaluate CMMC advice and vendor recommendations
  • Practical guidance on scope, evidence, and SPRS timing
  • A 30-, 60-, and 90-day action plan for what to do next
