Show Notes

In this episode of the Cuick 10 Podcast, Derek White, COO of Cuick Trac, is joined by Katie Dodson, President and Lead Certified CMMC Assessor at Hive Systems Defense Solutions, to break down what organizations need to understand about External Service Providers (ESPs), Cloud Service Providers (CSPs), and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) in the context of CMMC.

Katie explains why organizations often misunderstand what documentation is required during a CMMC assessment, the importance of customer responsibility matrices, and what’s expected when validating inherited controls—especially when your MSP is involved.
