43 - Securing Lazer Guns with Joy Beland

Think of the CMMC like HIPAA for companies that work with the Department of Defense. It's a seemingly-endless list of concerns to juggle when planning a CMMC compliance journey, and the guides for getting started are overwhelming.  If you can make it past the Special Publications (like NIST 800-53 and 800-171), there are maturity levels to manage and DFARS requirements, and waiting at the finish line is the promise of legal ramifications if you did the whole thing wrong.  In this episode, Nate and Joshua find a loophole to bring their Tye Dye Lazer Gun business to market without going through all the hassle that comes along with CMMC.  We're thankful that Joy Beland was there to talk us through our decision making process. Joy seems to know everything about CMMC, which perfectly suites her as she travels around to meet with MSPs about their compliance concerns and runs the CMMC Boot Camp for Edwards Performance Solutions.  Joy Beland is easy to find on LinkedIn, and you can find more information about her boot camp at https://edwps.com.
