Here's a line that gets glossed over in a lot of CMMC marketing: a “compliant” cloud platform or managed provider can shrink how much of your business falls inside the assessment boundary. It cannot inherit your compliance obligation. The System Security Plan, the plan of action, the SPRS score, and the annual affirmation your own officer signs stay with your company no matter who runs the infrastructure behind them.

▶️ Thursday, November 10, 11:00 a.m. Session 3 of CMMC: Straight Answers is built around that exact distinction — who owns which control when a managed provider is part of the picture, and why CMMC’s own rules keep the firm that helps you prepare separate from the firm that certifies you.

If you’re a manufacturer, engineering firm, or subcontractor anywhere in Massachusetts or Rhode Island’s defense supply chain, this is 60 minutes built for the business owner who must answer for this, not the IT department.

Most teams already have Copilot. Far fewer have a clear picture of where it belongs in their day.

New Charter’s AI Enablement team is running live, hands-on sessions that start with the work already on your plate: the email to draft, the idea to develop, the task to move forward. You’ll learn what Copilot can do, how to ask better questions, and where your judgment still matters.

Bring your own work and build from there.

Telling employees to use strong, unique passwords everywhere is asking them to do something humans can't do.

Nobody memorizes dozens of unique complex strings. So they reuse, or use a pattern, or keep a spreadsheet. Then an unrelated site gets breached and those credentials get tried against your Microsoft 365 tenant.

That's a math problem, and awareness training doesn't solve math problems. A business password manager does — and it gives you a clean way to revoke access when someone leaves. https://hubs.li/Q04B9v3g0

Microsoft Copilot only pays off when your team actually knows how to use it — most SMBs that roll it out get maybe 10% of the value sitting in their license.

Braver Technology, A New Charter Company, is offering 25 trial Copilot licenses (30 days, no cost) to qualifying businesses in our network, paired with a live webinar on October 1 that walks through exactly how to put Copilot to work inside Microsoft 365 — real workflows, not a feature tour.

Trial licenses are limited. Register for the webinar to see how it fits your business: https://hubs.li/Q04ykhFj0

The CMMC picture has already changed twice since July — most recently on September 3. We're running a three-part executive series to keep you on the current version of the story, not a product pitch.

For Massachusetts and Rhode Island manufacturers and subcontractors bidding on defense work, Session 1 is the place to start — with the most current version of the story. REGISTER HERE: https://hubs.li/Q04xkJqh0

🔴 Session 1 (Sept 24): “CMMC: Where We Actually Stand” — the July suspension, the September 3 update that made it binding, and what a named officer at your company is still personally attesting to.

⚫ Session 2 (Oct 14): “Scope Is the Budget” — the one decision that determines what CMMC actually costs you.

⚫ Session 3 (Nov 10): “Who Owns Which Control” — what your prime will ask for, and the conflict of interest most contractors don't see coming.

Each session is free, virtual, and built to teach something you can act on whether or not you ever work with us.

Do you have cyber insurance? What's still sitting on your compliance to-do list?

Then you likely already know an Incident Response Plan is quickly becoming non-negotiable at renewal — not optional paperwork, but something carriers are actively checking for.

On September 23rd, we're running a free, hands-on session called The First 24 Hours to help you check that off for good. It's a facilitated cyber incident response tabletop exercise, built with our partners Cyber74 and Huntress — not a lecture, and not a sales pitch.

Register: https://hubs.ly/Q04xkV0M0 · Wednesday, September 23 · 12:00 PM · Topgolf Canton (Only 28 Min. from Boston + 32 Min. from Providence ) — Free lunch, networking, and golf to follow. Seats are capped, so it stays a real working session.

You'll practice the real decisions a breach forces (who gets called, what gets communicated, how you recover), and leave with a comprehensive planning guide plus a stress-tested Incident Response Plan model — Along with AI prompts and guardrails to finish your own customized plan.

09/13/2026

On September 3, the Department of War did something most companies in the defense supply chain haven't heard about yet: it wrote July's CMMC Phase 2 suspension into binding contract language. Contracting officers are now directed to strip third-party certification requirements out of solicitations outright, not just treat them as paused.

That's real, and it's good news. It's also an incomplete answer to the question we keep hearing from owners and executives right now: does this mean we can stop worrying about CMMC?

No.
DFARS 252.204-7012 never paused — safeguarding CUI and reporting incidents within 72 hours are still required. The NIST SP 800-171 baseline, all 110 requirements, is still the bar contractors are held to. And the annual affirmation a named officer at your company personally signs still carries False Claims Act exposure if it's inaccurate. One enforcement mechanism moved. Everything you were already on the hook for didn't.

💡That gap, between what changed and what didn't, is exactly what we built a free three-part executive briefing series to close: CMMC: Straight Answers.

▶️ Session 1, Where Things Actually Stand, is Thursday, September 24 — 45 minutes, no pitch, no compliance checklist, just what changed and what it means before your next bid.

▶️ Sessions 2 and 3 follow in October and November: what scoping actually costs, and who's allowed to do what in your compliance program.

✅ Register for each Session here: https://hubs.li/Q04xkfYl0

⁉️ If you hold a DFARS clause, handle FCI or CUI, or sit anywhere in a prime's supply chain, what's the one CMMC question you'd want answered first?
