C3 Integrated Solutions

CMMC is not easy. Nerdio makes CMMC implementation a little bit easier, and we'll take every bit that we can get. One of the biggest challenges that MSPs face when they're trying to deliver CMMC compliance is accurately and clearly defining a compliance boundary for the client. But virtual desktops have really emerged as one of the most straightforward and effective ways to control scope for CMMC.

And Nerdio, of course, really accelerates the deployment and management of virtual desktops in Azure Government, meaning that MSPs can now leverage the Microsoft Government Community Cloud for their clients. The Nerdio/CIS partnership is awesome because CIS Hardened Images obviously offer a pre-configured security baseline that can be a really key part of your strategy for configuration management. And Nerdio simplifies both the deployment of those baselines and then also maintaining those configurations over time. Nerdio automation is obviously great.

I mean, there are so many different ways that you can customize what it is that you're trying to do in a particular environment. A lot of MSPs are taking a strategy now for CMMC where they understand what the requirements are going to be. So that allows them to lean into automation to deploy the configurations that make sense for those environments and then ensure that they are maintained over time. So we used Nerdio in our own CMMC Level 2 assessment, and we found a tremendous benefit in the configuration management domain.

Nerdio also has great native functionality that we were able to use. Either way, with or without Nerdio, CMMC Level 2 is a really rigorous mountain to climb. So anytime that you can have any sort of benefit by leveraging a tool like Nerdio's automation, that's really going to help reduce the complexity of your overall, you know, the checklist of things that you need to do. So using a tool like Nerdio and leaning into automation is a great strategy. Our customers love to know that there is a simplified management interface because the Azure Government Cloud can be scary if you're not used to it and you're more familiar with a commercial offering.

So Nerdio's deep integration with Azure and of course the Nerdio automation, and cost savings benefit are great selling points to our clients.
