    March 2026 CMMC Connect

    What are organizations getting wrong when it comes to CMMC? In this replay of March’s CMMC Connect, Redspin’s assessors break down the real-world questions organizations are asking right now, from Rev. 2 vs. Rev. 3 implications to scoping decisions, shared environments, and what truly changes when you add systems into your boundary. We cover what happens after certification, how to think about inherited controls and micro-business models, what differentiates C3PAOs, and how to determine if you’re truly assessment-ready—not just policy-ready. If you’re navigating CMMC Level 2, managing CUI, or preparing for (or maintaining) certification, this is your practical, field-driven breakdown of what assessors are actually seeing and advising. CMMC Connect happens on the last Thursday of every month at 1 PM ET.

    February 2026 CMMC Connect

    How did this much happen in just 30 days? In this replay episode of February's CMMC Connect, we break down the latest DFARS Class Deviations, GSA’s new “CMMC-like” program, key takeaways from the Cyber AB Town Hall, and the biggest questions shaping the CMMC landscape right now. We cover why mock assessments can’t convert to formal certifications, why documentation is everything, how contract requirements drive CMMC Levels, and what you need to know about CUI access, training, and assessment readiness.  If you’re navigating CMMC, FAR/DFARS, or federal contract compliance, this is your 60-minute briefing on what matters most.

    November 2025 CMMC Connect

    Phase 1 of CMMC is officially here, and this month’s CMMC Connect dives straight into what contractors are experiencing on the ground. Redspin’s panel of CCAs break down the newest DoD updates, rising assessment backlogs (or is it rising false-starts?), early Level 2 contract requirements, and the most common “not met” trends they’re seeing in real assessments. They also unpack key findings from Redspin’s new Momentum but Slow Movement report, based on data from 180 DoD contractors, including the growing wave of flow-down demands from primes. If you want clear, practical answers on scoping, evidence, encryption, specialized assets, subcontractor management, or what counts as a “significant change,” this episode has it. Plus: Redspin is hiring CCAs as demand skyrockets.
