🚀 New Episode Alert: Navigating CMMC Compliance with ESPs and Inherited Controls 🚀

In our latest episode of CMMC News, we dive deep into the complexities of CMMC compliance and how to effectively manage the relationship with your External Service Providers (ESPs). This episode is packed with insights that are crucial for any DOD contractor aiming to unravel the intricacies of inheriting security controls while maintaining full compliance responsibility. Here's a sneak peek at three key takeaways:

🔹 Own Your Responsibility: Just because your ESP is CMMC certified doesn’t mean you’re off the hook. You're accountable for validating, documenting, and proving those inherited controls work in your environment.

🔹 Clear Role Divisions: Understand the spectrum of responsibilities—fully inherited, partially inherited, and those non-delegable controls that are 100% on you, like user authorization and data classification.

🔹 Audit Readiness is Key: Meticulous documentation is your best friend. Make sure your controls are thoroughly documented in your SSP, supported by concrete evidence to ace that CMMC assessment.
