IntelliGRC

Compliance shouldn’t just be a checkbox. It needs to be a business model. As frameworks continue to evolve, MSPs are being called to lead cybersecurity governance for their clients. Yet few have formalized how their tools, services, and responsibilities fit into an audit-ready compliance ecosystem. That’s why we’re hosting a hands-on workshop, “Blueprints of Trust: Build Your MSP’s CMMC Boundary and Customer Responsibility Matrix (CRM)”, on November 5 at The IT Nation conference. In this interactive session, you’ll design your MSP’s cyber-compliance architecture practice while being guided by our experts Ozzie Saeed, Phillip Donald, MSCSIA, CISA, CMMC Lead CCA, and Steven Molter. You’ll walk away with: · A CMMC-aligned System Boundary Diagram & Data Flow Diagram using IntelliGRC templates · A Customer Responsibility Matrix (CRM) defining shared responsibilities and reducing risk · Tangible deliverables you can reuse with clients and teams to strengthen trust and compliance readiness Seats are limited, and laptops are required for full participation. Join us and build the foundation of trust your clients will rely on. More information can be found in the link in the comments. #CMMC #Cybersecurity #Compliance #MSP #GRC #ITNationConnect

We’re headed to The IT Nation Connect Conference in Orlando. You’re probably already doing a lot of compliance work. Patching, access management, backups, logging. It just ends up buried in break/fix tickets and retainers where nobody gets paid for it. Ozzie Saeed, our Founder and CEO, is running a hands-on workshop on fixing that. Build Your Compliance as a Service Catalog and Pricing Model You’ll map the services you already deliver to the controls they satisfy. Then you’ll package them into three service tiers with scope, delivery, and pricing that actually holds up. You’ll leave with a 90-day plan to take it to market. No new practice required. Just a better way to sell what you’re already doing. 🗓️ Wednesday, November 4 🕧 12:30 to 4:30 PM ET Register Here: https://hubs.li/Q04CN4x10 If you’re going to be at Connect, add it to your agenda and come say hi. #ITNationConnect #ComplianceAsAService #MSP #CMMC #GRC

IT Nation Connect is coming up, and we’ll be in Orlando. Find us at our booth at Rosen Shingle Creek. We’ll be talking about how MSPs can run compliance for their DIB clients without it eating their whole week. You’re probably getting more questions from clients about compliance than you can answer right now. Come by, tell us what you’re seeing, and we’ll show you how other MSPs are handling it. We’re also running a pre-conference workshop on building your compliance as a service. If you want the deep version, that’s the place learn it. Built for the MSP. See you in Orlando. 📍 IT Nation Connect | Rosen Shingle Creek, Orlando 🗓️ November 4th-6th #ITNationConnect #ITNation #NIST800171 #MSP #DefenseIndustrialBase

Every compliance program comes with a to-do list nobody hands you. Initial implementation POA&Ms. Post-assessment POA&Ms. Operational POAs under 3.12.2. ConMon activities. Evidence requests before your assessment. If you're tracking all of that in a spreadsheet, you're probably one missed row away from a finding. On November 5, join Steven Molter and Jeremy L. as they break down what separates each of these. Then watch as they go live in the IntelliGRC platform to show how to turn them into tracked, auditable action items with Action Plan and ConMon. You'll leave knowing what has to get done. And with a way to prove it got done. Thursday, Nov 5 | 2:00 to 3:00 PM ET Register here: https://hubs.li/Q04zsf500 #CMMC #NIST800171 #GRC #POAM #ContinuousMonitoring

New episode of the IntelliGRC Podcast is live, and this one has some history behind it. Levi Kapilevich joined the show for the first time in four years. If you've spent any time in the CMMC Discord server, you've probably benefited from work he's been doing quietly since 2018. That server started with 20 people trying to make sense of 800-171 before CMMC even existed. It's now sitting at 6,500 members and a few hundred messages a day, built entirely by word of mouth. The conversation covers how that community got built, why the DIB's information problem still hasn't been solved, what the DOD's conflicting messaging has actually done to people trying to get compliant, and where the "Brilliant at the Basics" campaign fits into all of it. One line that stuck: if you found the Discord server, you're already ahead of 90% of the DIB. Most people still haven't. Worth the listen. 🎧 https://bit.ly/4e9rsam

The threat to the Defense Industrial Base is not theoretical. Ismail McCowin knows this because he's been on the other side of it. Twenty-six years in the Navy, including offensive cyber operations and leading combat mission teams, gives you a specific kind of clarity about why CMMC isn't paperwork theater. Now he's Director of Cybersecurity and Compliance at Peerless, helping contractors understand what's actually in their environment before they find out the hard way.
