Last week we brought Denver business owners together for an evening of compliance talk that didn't feel like homework.

Our CMMC Chaos happy hour and expert panel at Carboy Winery covered what CMMC actually means for your business, real steps to get ahead of it, and none of the scare tactics.

Thanks to everyone who showed up, asked sharp questions, and stuck around after the panel wrapped.

Who's in for the next one? Drop a comment and we'll save you a seat.

🚨 DFARS. CMMC. NIST 800-171. What’s actually the difference?

If your organization works with the Department of Defense, you have probably heard all three terms. The challenge is understanding how they fit together and what they mean for your cybersecurity and compliance responsibilities.

Our new article, “DFARS vs. CMMC vs. NIST 800-171: What’s the Difference?”, breaks down the compliance alphabet soup in plain English.

We cover:

🔹 How DFARS, CMMC, and NIST SP 800-171 differ

🔹 How the three work together

🔹 What CMMC Levels 1, 2, and 3 mean

🔹 The connection between CMMC Level 2 and NIST SP 800-171

🔹 What defense contractors should be thinking about now

🔹 Why prime contractors and subcontractors both need to pay attention

A simple way to remember it:

📄 DFARS = Contractual obligations

🔐 NIST SP 800-171 = Security requirements

✅ CMMC = Assessment and verification

If you are part of the Defense Industrial Base, understanding the difference can help you make better decisions about your compliance strategy and cybersecurity investments.

And if you are in Colorado and want to continue the conversation in person, join eCreek IT Solutions for CMMC Chaos in Denver on August 27.

📅 August 27 | 6 PM

🍷 Drinks + light bites
