“We built a second company from scratch…”

Is that what it takes for MSPs to get CMMC'd!?! 👀

In this episode I’m joined by Bobby Guerra and Kaleigh Floyd from Axiom, an IT Managed Service Provider (MSP). They explain exactly what it took to achieve CMMC level 2 certification - after 4 years of effort.

Most MSPs aren’t ready for CMMC. Many believe it's just another checkbox, but it’s a complete operational shift that requires rethinking your tools, processes, and client relationships!

Here are some of the highlights:

• How much money they allocated for CMMC (it’s more than you think)
• How to build scalable and repeatable processes to support compliance
• The tools, contracts, and agreements you MUST have in place
• How to prepare for the assessment (and avoid sleepless nights!)

Bobby Guerra is the CEO of Axiom and has led the MSP for over 22 years. Under his leadership, Axiom became one of the first MSPs in the U.S. to achieve CMMC Level 2 Certification. Bobby now helps guide clients through their own CMMC journeys, focusing on sustainable security and compliance.

Kaleigh Floyd is the Marketing Director at Axiom and Co-Host of the Climbing Mount CMMC podcast. Raised in the MSP world, she now educates others through Microsoft 365 training and cybersecurity content. Her passion lies in simplifying tech and making a lasting impact in the industry.

This is a true CMMC for MSPs masterclass! So much great advice packed into this episode!
