Today is an important day in the #MSP and #MSSP industry and for the #CMMC ecosystem. Summit 7 has joined together with multiple service providers who are dedicated to serving the DIB as part of the MSPs for the Protection of Critical Infrastructure, and we have authored a position paper on how to scope and assess a service provider against the security controls prescribed at CMMC Level 2. We have submitted the paper as public comment for the CMMC Proposed Rule. Hitting the SUBMIT button on the Federal Register site brings us tremendous pride. We have worked very hard to balance the need for securing our defense contractors with the objective reality of how service providers operate; we took much consideration for how this program can best serve our industry and the CMMC ecosystem. I would like to personally thank George Perezdiaz for his thoughtful collaboration and Vizio skills; as well as the following members of our group who spent countless hours with insightful questions and edits of this important document: Scott Edwards Jacob Horne Stuart Itkin Rob Wilson Saif Rahman Jason Sproesser Caleb Leidy Carly (Carlene) Logan Amy Edwards Derek Kernus, CISSP, CCSP, CCP, MBA Ed Tuorinsky Leia Kupris Shilobod, CCP, CISM Bobby Guerra Jennifer Kaufmann Brian Emerson Full paper link will be added to comments. Note that our goal was not to advise on implementation of controls for service providers; we have focused on how the scoping would apply and how to create a viable assessment program applicable to our industry.

As a group we must begin the task of educating the US Government and Critical Infrastructure Industries about topics critical to External Service Providers (MSPs and MSSPs). There is no better place to begin this work than a highlighting of the Mission of the MSP Collective. With that said, let me open with a post highlighting that Mission. In subsequent posts we will begin identifying and beginning discussions around the various topics that are important to MSPs in this space. Mission: To inform the US Government and Critical Infrastructure industries on topics related to Managed Service Providers and Managed Security Service Providers dedicated to the National Security mission of maintaining a secure, functioning, and resilient critical infrastructure. #MissionFirst #MSPCollective #DIB #CMMC

We are actively soliciting for new members for MSPs for the Protection of Critical Infrastructure. If your MSP / MSSP is focused on supporting and protecting critical infrastructure, please reach out to us for a conversation about membership. We can do more together to effect change than we can do as individual organizations.

We are excited to announce the formation of MSPs for the Protection of Critical Infrastructure, also known as "The MSP Collective". https://lnkd.in/e4GhgPqS. Our Mission is "To inform the US Government and Critical Infrastructure industries on topics related to Managed Service Providers and Managed Security Service Providers dedicated to the National Security mission of maintaining a secure, functioning, and resilient critical infrastructure." We are very excited to have 3 founding member MSPs / MSSPs represented on our Board of Directors. Summit 7, NeoSystems LLC and Quzara LLC have selflessly worked together over the last 4 months to develop this organization and we look forward to working with our industry peers and government representatives as we help secure the Critical Infrastructure of the United States. Thank you to our Board of Directors, who have been working on this effort.
