In this special Halloween edition of CMMC Connect, the Redspin team swapped their suits for costumes and dove into what’s next as CMMC Phase 1 officially begins on November 10.

Join Dr. Thomas Graham, Jeremy Mares, Rob Teague, and Phil Conrad, hosted by Lauren Frickle, as they unpack:

Why November 10 marks the start of CMMC, not the finish line

What to do before the rollout — including updating your SPRS scores

When service providers (like CPA firms) come into scope

Key insights from the field — over 430 Level 2 assessments completed and counting

Tips to prepare for the 2026 Phase 2 rollout and avoid assessment backlogs

Of course, things got a little fun — proving once again that CMMC doesn’t have to be scary.
