Watch the December MAD Security Town Hall Webinar replay 👇
As 2025 ends, MAD Security’s final Cybersecurity Webinar of the year focused on a critical topic for defense contractors: how to audit-proof your CMMC 2.0 compliance strategy for 2026.
As a CMMC Level 2 Certified MSSP with a perfect SPRS score of 110, MAD Security continues to lead the way in compliance and audit readiness across the DIB.
|
Documentation Gaps Remain the Top Compliance KillerEven with a solid tech stack, failure to maintain accurate, aligned, and fully developed documentation is the most common audit failure point.
CMMC 2.0 success hinges on documentation that proves maturity and repeatability. |
Staff Readiness Is Often OverlookedTeams that couldn’t explain their processes during interviews, even if technically compliant struggled to pass.
A well-documented policy is only effective if your team can explain it. |
|
Scoping Confusion Leads to Audit RiskInaccurate or incomplete CUI scoping affected everything from documentation to control applicability.
Your CMMC readiness starts with knowing where your CUI is. |
|
Audit Success Requires Translator-Level ClarityAssessors don’t always recognize non-standard implementations, even when they’re compliant.
Success often depends on your ability to explain and align, not just implement. |
|
Regulatory and Prime Pressure Are EscalatingWith the 48 CFR ruling finalized in November 2025, the DOD has shown its intent to enforce compliance. Many primes are already setting SPRS score deadlines.
Contract loss due to missed CMMC obligations is already happening. |
