Ask a CMMC Expert! Gated Form - Prescient Security

CMMC, Decoded: Straight from the Experts

With CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) becoming a critical requirement for contractors in the defense supply chain, companies, big and small, are racing to understand what it really takes to get certified. Sarah and John break down the process, clear up confusion, and share field-tested advice for organizations at every stage of their compliance journey.

Join us for an in-depth conversation with Sarah Lange, Director of US Federal Practices at Prescient Security, and John Minnix, Co-Founder at Brightdefense.

In this session, they answer key questions such as:

What's the very first step companies should take toward CMMC certification?

Is CMMC the same as NIST 800-171 or something different?

What SPRS score should you have before scheduling an assessment and what gaps are most common?

How can small businesses meet requirements with limited resources?

What documentation really matters in a CMMC audit—and do templates actually work?

How much of the process can be automated, and where is expert guidance essential?

What happens after your first CMMC assessment, is it a one-time event or ongoing?

If a company fails, what’s next and how soon can they try again?

Whether you’re a defense contractor preparing for your first audit or a business weighing the time, cost, and effort of certification, this conversation will give you the clarity and direction you need.
