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

Make defensible decisions amid uncertainty.

Evaluate conflicting guidance and determine how to move forward without overengineering the environment or pausing necessary compliance work.

Recalibrate the readiness roadmap.

Confirm whether current priorities, investments, and timelines still align with contractual obligations and real assessment expectations.

Shaken, Not Hacked:
The New Rules of Cybersecurity

A Virtual Cocktail Class & Cybersecurity Discussion

Cyber threats aren’t standing still, and neither should your security strategy. Join CompassMSP for an interactive virtual experience that blends practical cybersecurity insights with a hands-on cocktail class led by a professional mixologist. Each attendee will receive a cocktail kit so they can mix, shake, and sip along from wherever they are.

While you craft your cocktails, Brian Bennett, CompassMSP Senior Director of Security Architecture, will break down how AI-powered threats are changing the cybercrime game, why identity has become the new security perimeter, and how expanding attack surfaces create new risks for businesses.

Space is limited, and cocktail kits will be shipped directly to registered attendees, so reserve your spot before November 15th to shake up your cybersecurity knowledge and enjoy a cocktail-making experience with CompassMSP.

Because the best defense is knowing what to watch for, what to lock down, and what to do next. Cheers to that!

To ensure your kit arrives on time,
you must register by November 15.

We will reach out via email to collect your mailing address once your registration is confirmed.
