Is Your Service Provider Prepared for CMMC?

In this episode of "Climbing Mount CMMC," hosts Kaleigh Floyd and Bobby Guerra delve into the intricacies of preparing for a CMMC Level 2 assessment, particularly focusing on the role of external service providers (ESPs) and Managed Service Providers (MSPs). They emphasize the importance of selecting a provider who not only understands the CMMC requirements but has also successfully guided clients through the assessment process. Kaleigh shares her personal experiences with contractors who have been misled by providers, likening the situation to being an Uber driver rather than a coach in a race. Bobby adds that understanding the CMMC controls at a referee level is crucial for any provider aiming to assist clients effectively. The conversation progresses to practical advice on how to vet potential providers, including asking about their experience with assessments, their understanding of NIST 800-171 controls, and the tools they use. Kaleigh and Bobby stress the necessity of having a customer responsibility matrix and a clear agreement that outlines the roles and responsibilities of both the provider and the client. They conclude by encouraging listeners to ask the right questions to avoid wasting time and resources, ensuring they choose a provider who can genuinely support them through the CMMC certification journey.
