Episode Synopsis

This is a powerful CMMC success story that proves compliance doesn't have to take 12-18 months or break your budget. Join your host, Derrich Phillips, as he interviews Josh Hedeby, CPA, Director of Finance at Intertec Engineering, about their journey to CMMC Level 2 certification. Josh shares the shock of receiving quotes for traditional solutions (like Microsoft GCC High MSPs) that exceeded $250,000 for just the first year. Discover the disruptive, fully managed solution that turned their 12-18 month project into a rapid success, giving them a crucial competitive advantage now that the final CMMC rule is published. In this video, you will learn: - The Cost Trap: Why traditional solutions were a non-starter and how quotes reached six figures for a small business. - The Game-Changing Solution: How the CMMC Space solution by ATX Defense provided a 100% managed, affordable alternative. - Rapid Compliance: Intertec went from signing up to being assessment-ready within 30 to 45 days, avoiding a grueling 12-18 month timeline. - Inheritance is Key: How inheriting the policies and documentation allowed Intertec to skip the pain of writing an 80-page System Security Plan (SSP).
