CMMC is Here!: What does it Mean for 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

Who Should Attend: This webinar covers a combination of business level concerns, as well as the technical requirements of providing services to DIB clients. Owners and senior executive team members will learn about the potential loss of business due to an inability to comply, as well as estimated costs to meet the requirements. Service leaders and chief information security officers (CISO) will learn what is required regarding people, process and technology to be prepared to assist clients with their assessments.

CMMC affects a broad range of industries, not just manufacturing. Take this opportunity to understand the business that might be at risk and learn ways to protect it.

This webinar kicks off the National Society of IT Service Providers’ year-long Cyber Series! Over the next twelve months we are presenting various topics such as common cybersecurity frameworks, opportunities in cybersecurity, and potential risks for MSPs. It will include presentations by industry experts such as Phyllis Lee of CIS (CIS Framework), Joy Beland of Summit 7 (CMMC), and Wes Spencer or Empath (NIST CSF).

This is a great opportunity for MSPs to get a foundational understanding of the value of adopting a cybersecurity framework and what it takes to get there.

The stakes are high for MSPs serving the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) and DoD supply chain. With the impending enforcement of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), understanding your responsibilities and requirements is crucial.

 Join Reg Harnish, CEO of OrbitalFire, and Mark Jennings, CEO of OTX Partners, as they break down the essential strategies for navigating CMMC. Topics will include leveraging a Shared Responsibility Matrix to define security roles, understanding the financial implications of certification, and evaluating what services to consider outsourcing.

 Whether you’re weighing the cost of certification or calculating the business risks of non-compliance, this webinar is designed to help you protect your customers and your bottom line.

Fireside Chat: Practical Application for MSPs for CMMC

What is CMMC? CMMC stands for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, and is a program from the US Department of Defense (DoD) that standardizes cybersecurity practices for defense contractors. The program is expected to go into effect in late 2023.

The NSITSP is bringing together a panel of experts to talk about CMMC and how it will impact our MSP members. CMMC is both an opportunity and a potential challenge for MSP’s and MSSP’s. Learn about the requirements for MSPs and MSSPs providing services to defense contractors and some of the approaches they can take.

While cybersecurity offers endless opportunities for MSPs, it also introduces a whole host of new risks and challenges.

Simplified Cyber Security Sales for MSPs

Strong cybersecurity is crucial for businesses of all sizes today. But many businesses are unaware of the risks or simply don’t think the likelihood of an attack is very high. MSPs know better.  However, many MSPs struggle to get the message across to their prospects. The result is a prospect left unprotected and the MSP losing a sale. Join Jennifer Bleam to learn simple techniques MSPs can use to help their prospects understand the risks while building a trust-based relationship.
