Episode 4 is out now! With special guests: Joy Belinda Beland, Stuart Itkin, and George Perezdiaz We emphasize the need for MSPs to understand the investment and commitment required to achieve CMMC compliance. We also highlight the supply and demand issue in the industry and the difficulty organizations face in discerning valid claims from MSPs. MSPs for the Protection of Critical Infrastructure is also a great resource to turn to for MSPs and I am grateful to be a part of it. Key Topics: 🔶 MSPs need to understand the investment and commitment required for CMMC compliance 🔶 MSPs should take the lead in understanding and implementing the necessary controls and processes 🔶 MSPs have an opportunity to provide managed services and support SMBs in achieving CMMC compliance 🔶 There is a potential supply and demand issue in the MSP industry that needs to be addressed. 🔶 The MSPs Collective aims to establish minimum standards for MSPs to ensure their capability and support for organizations. 🔶 A separate assessment for MSPs may be necessary, considering their unique role and responsibilities. 🔶 Tailoring the standards to the MSP ecosystem is crucial to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.

Very soon, there are going to be looooong lines for organizations to get their CMMC assessments. How do I know? Because our project funnel at MNS Group is beginning to fill, and other certified C3PAOs are experiencing the same thing. Even if your organization isn’t ready, it’s wise to start shopping around for an assessment partner. Obviously, I’m biased and want you to pick MNS Group. But even if you don’t choose us, get in line somewhere. Sign a contract now, so that you have a guaranteed place in line when the DoD releases the rule. Spots are limited. If you wait until you’re 100% ready, you may be waiting longer than you expect. #CMMC #BestAdvice #cybersecurity #assessment #DoD

🔒 Is Your Website Secure? 🔒 On average, around 30,000 websites are hacked every day globally. Even more concerning is that 43% of these attacks target small businesses. Cybersecurity is a critical concern, and we take it very seriously at FTP. Here are a few of the most targeted kinds of websites: • E-commerce websites: Hackers often exploit vulnerabilities within e-commerce websites, especially those using common coding or shopping cart software. • Small businesses: These often lack the robust security infrastructure of larger enterprises. • News outlets: Frequently targeted for their influence and reach. • Healthcare: Contains sensitive patient data, making it a prime target. • Government: Critical infrastructure and sensitive information are at risk. • Financial services: High-value data and financial transactions make these a top target. • Non-profits: Often have limited resources for cybersecurity. • Online retailers: Similar to e-commerce, these sites handle financial transactions and personal data. Here's how we protect our website and our users: 1. SSL Certificates: We use advanced SSL encryption to ensure that all data transmitted between our servers and your browser is secure. 2. Regular Security Audits: Our team conducts regular security audits to identify and address potential vulnerabilities. 3. Firewall Protection: We employ robust firewall systems to prevent unauthorized access to our network. 4. Compliance: We adhere to industry standards and regulations, including GDPR and CCPA, to ensure your data is handled with the utmost care. 5. Security Updates: We regularly update your software and systems to protect against the latest threats and vulnerabilities. 6. User Awareness: We believe in empowering our users with knowledge. We provide resources and best practices to help you stay secure online. Want to learn more about our security practices?
