RISCPoint, a leading cybersecurity and compliance services provider, has partnered with Wiz, the global leader in cloud security, to publish a comprehensive whitepaper that simplifies the path to achieving Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC).

The publication, titled “From Readiness to Resilience: A Guide to CMMC Success and Cloud-Ready Defense,” addresses the uncertainty that often surrounds CMMC and offers organizations practical steps to move from preparation to certification with confidence.

Jake Nix, who co-authored the guide alongside Bryan Rosensteel, highlighted the value of the collaboration:

“As Tony and I worked with Bryan through this process, we were inspired to create meaningful, educational content that empowers organizations to tackle complex compliance challenges. Partnering with Wiz allowed us to deliver guidance that security and compliance leaders can immediately put into practice.”

Key Insights from the Whitepaper

The guide serves as a clear roadmap for organizations navigating CMMC, breaking down requirements into actionable strategies. Key areas covered include:

  • Risk Identification and Prioritization – helping organizations understand where vulnerabilities exist and how to address them efficiently.

  • Certification Readiness – outlining steps to prepare for third-party audits and assessments.
  • Cloud-Native Security Tools – demonstrating how automation, real-time monitoring, and continuous visibility can streamline compliance efforts.
  • Integrated Support Model – showing how technology, advisory services, and structured remediation plans can carry organizations from assessment through certification.

Why This Matters

As the Department of Defense (DoD) advances the rollout of CMMC, pressure on the defense industrial base continues to grow. Many large prime contractors are already requiring certification for handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), placing subcontractors and smaller suppliers under increasing compliance demands.

For organizations lagging behind, the risk of being excluded from future defense contracts is rising. The RISCPoint–Wiz whitepaper aims to fill this gap by providing both strategic guidance and technical solutions designed to help businesses meet evolving DoD standards without unnecessary delays.
