CMMC 2.0 Reality Check for MSPs: Setting the Right Expectations

CMMC 2.0 Reality Check for MSPs: Setting the Right Expectations

What Assessors See — and Where MSPs Often Need More Clarity

CMMC 2.0 is no longer theoretical. For many MSPs, it’s quickly becoming a critical client conversation—one where expectations, scope, and responsibility matter just as much as controls and tooling.

The challenge?
Many MSPs are learning about CMMC from blogs, vendors, or secondhand advice—not from the people who actually conduct assessments.

As a result, MSPs are being pulled into client decisions without clear guidance on:

• What’s required vs. optional
• Where MSP responsibility begins and ends
• How to scope CMMC without introducing unnecessary complexity or risk
   

This live, workshop-style session is designed to bring clarity.

You’ll hear directly from Kyle Lai, an Authorized C3PAO assessor, on how CMMC 2.0 is being interpreted in real-world assessments—what assessors focus on, where MSPs most often need clearer alignment, and how to set the right expectations with clients from the start.

This is not a sales webinar. It’s an assessor-backed reality check for MSPs who want to confidently support (or lead) CMMC engagements—whether you’re already working with ControlMap, exploring compliance-as-a-service, or evaluating how CMMC fits into your broader service strategy.

What you’ll learn:

• What CMMC 2.0 Level 2 really covers
• How MSPs successfully participate in CMMC (supporting vs. leading)
• Common MSP engagement models and early value opportunities
• Scoping fundamentals: CUI, OSCs, enclaves—and how to keep scope manageable
• What drives effort, cost, and timelines
• How to confidently talk to clients about CMMC
   

The session includes optional live Q&A, giving you the opportunity to bring real-world questions forward and get direct answers from a C3PAO assessor and ControlMap’s compliance and implementation experts.

You’ll leave with a clear mental model of how CMMC works—and what your next step should be, regardless of where you are today.
