Before Your MSP Chases CMMC, Take an Honest Look at Your Operations

The article advises managed service providers (MSPs) to conduct thorough internal audits of their operations before pursuing Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) compliance for Department of Defense contracts. CMMC should be approached as a comprehensive operating model rather than a checklist, with particular attention to access controls and data handling practices. MSPs need to ensure their internal processes can withstand the scrutiny required for defense work.

Why it matters: MSPs bidding on DoD contracts must understand that CMMC compliance requires substantive operational changes, not just documentation; inadequate preparation risks failed audits and lost contract opportunities.
