October 2025 CMMC Connect

In this special Halloween edition of CMMC Connect, the Redspin team swapped their suits for costumes and dove into what’s next as CMMC Phase 1 officially begins on November 10.

Join Dr. Thomas Graham, Jeremy Mares, Rob Teague, and Phil Conrad, hosted by Lauren Frickle, as they unpack:

• Why November 10 marks the start of CMMC, not the finish line

• What to do before the rollout — including updating your SPRS scores

• When service providers (like CPA firms) come into scope

• Key insights from the field — over 430 Level 2 assessments completed and counting

• Tips to prepare for the 2026 Phase 2 rollout and avoid assessment backlogs

• Sooooooo much more

Of course, things got a little fun — proving once again that CMMC doesn’t have to be scary.

CMMC Connect happens every last Thursday at 1 PM ET. Register: redspin.com/events/cmmc-connect
