CMMC 2.0 Reality Check for MSPs: Setting the Right Expectations

What Assessors See — and Where MSPs Get It Wrong

When: Tuesday, February 24 | 1:00 PM ET (30 minutes + Q&A)

Why This Webinar Matters Now

CMMC 2.0 is no longer theoretical.

It’s creating more questions than answers for MSPs, and conflicting guidance has made it increasingly difficult to know what’s required, what’s optional, and where responsibility truly lies.

MSPs are being pulled into active client decisions often without clear guidance on scope, responsibility, or risk.

And here’s the problem:
Most MSPs are learning about CMMC from blogs, vendors, or secondhand advice — not from the people who actually pass or fail assessments.

This session is designed to close that gap.
