Urgent CMMC Updates from PreVeil’s Webinar: Get Your Game Plan Ready with North Star Strategies

Hey everyone! I just tuned into PreVeil’s latest “Coffee and CMMC” webinar, and if you’re in the defense contracting game, this is crucial. Compliance deadlines are approaching fast, and having the right strategy in place could mean the difference between staying in the game or watching contracts slip away. Here’s the latest scoop on CMMC and why it’s time to act.

1. CMMC Assessments Begin December 16, 2023 – Are You Ready?

Starting December 16, CMMC assessments will be live, and that means no more time to delay. North Star Strategies understands the urgency here and is positioned as your go-to partner to help ensure you’re ready to hit the ground running. If you’re looking to stay competitive and keep those contracts flowing, it’s time to get in gear.

Here’s the Deal: Primes may start asking for compliance even before DoD officially requires it. This means an early start on assessments can make all the difference. North Star’s Executive-First Communication Model focuses on outcomes and ROI, so your leadership team sees the compliance journey as an investment rather than a costly obligation.

2. Level 2 Compliance is Key – Focus Here First

PreVeil highlighted that Level 2 compliance is the primary target for contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Forget about Level 3 for now – the DoD wants contractors to establish solid Level 2 compliance first. North Star Strategies bridges the gap between your MSP and your compliance goals, making this transition smoother by translating compliance requirements into executive-friendly language while preserving your existing MSP relationships.

3. Don’t Overlook Your External Service Providers (ESPs)

If your business relies on MSPs or cloud providers for IT support, they’re in your CMMC compliance picture too. North Star’s unique positioning as an MSP-friendly advisor means we’re not here to compete with your service providers – we’re here to support you in partnership with them. North Star’s experience as a trusted bridge between MSPs and contractors ensures a compliant, cohesive, and scalable partnership.
