Small Business Achieves CMMC Level 2 Certification: Reynolds Construction's DIY Success Story

About this episode

Eric Fields shares how Reynolds Construction achieved CMMC Level 2 certification with minimal resources.

HR guy leads his company to CMMC level 2 certification! 👀 In this episode I’m joined by Eric Fields of Reynolds Construction to learn how he led his business to CMMC level 2 certification! I call him "Eric the Great" - you'll see why in a moment. Eric's background was in HR and business operations. He had no background in IT or cybersecurity. They did it in-house - with just two people and smart choices. 👉 Here’s how they did it: CMMC training from GRC Academy Resources and advisory services from Kieri Solutions CCP & CCA training Meticulous documentation This episode is very special to me - Eric's intro to CMMC was through GRC Academy more than 2 years ago, and he was actually the second person to leave a 5-star review on my CMMC training for defense contractors: https://grcacademy.io/course-reviews/cmmc-overview-training-eric-f-20230127/ This episode is a great reminder that small businesses can achieve CMMC certification without breaking the bank. That said, time is no longer a luxury. With CMMC phasing in this summer, small businesses need to move fast - and partnering with a CMMC-focused MSP can help accelerate the process. What were your biggest takeaways? Feel free…
