Preparing for a CMMC assessment, but don't know what to expect?

Get ready to learn from CMMC Lead Assessor Fernando Machado as he explains EXACTLY what happens in each phase of the CMMC assessment process!

Fernando is the Managing Principal of Cybersec Investments which is an authorized C3PAO. Fernando has been involved with CMMC starting in 2020 as a member of the Cyber AB's Standards Management Industry Working Group.

Cybersec Investments has already issued 12 CMMC certifications since CMMC assessments began in January of 2025 and previously participated in nearly 20 Joint Surveillance Voluntary Assessments (JSVAs).

👉 Here are some highlights:

  • What to expect during a CMMC assessment
  • The 4-phases of the CMMC Assessment Process (v2.0)
  • No self-assessment? No independent assessment
  • Common issues that could cause assessment failures
  • How to make the assessment easier for your assessor (and you)

It is overwhelming preparing for a CMMC assessment, but don't go into it without knowing what to expect!
