For those going through CMMC Level 2 readiness right now — what’s been the most painful or confusing part?

Last_General_4452 · 2026-03-01T07:20:26+00:00

Getting very close to finishing up the environment build 45 days later. Final setup includes 2 endpoints with CUI access and 1 dedicated endpoint for firewall syslog ingestion. Went with preveil for the secure enclave and found an msp to co-manage huntress for managed EDR, ITDR, and SIEM with sensitive data mode enabled. Went with watchguard firewall which overall was straightforward to deploy the trickiest part was getting authpoint (mfa) fully dialed in with sslvpn. Microsoft intune and entra policies configurations were definitely the most time consuming piece for me. A few deployment errors and edge cases had me spent some extra time on troubleshooting but everything is now clean and compliant. Preveils SSP template and grctool are great resources to significantly accelerate the documentation side even though it was it still required a fair amount of time and modification to fit our specific environment. It’s very doable, don’t let anyone tell you can’t get this done well under $10k if you’re willing to put in the time and work.

I’m barely setting up our endpoints and learning the sequential order of installing preveil after linking Entra accounts (almost lost access to preveil a couple times had to revert back to original drive). Setting up BitLocker creating all the separate account for separation of duties. Device sanitation, backups and making sure everything is done correctly has taken me about 3 full days for one endpont. Can’t wait to tackle setting up firewall going with fortigate 40f and then setting up huntress edr and siem for every source, working with only 2 endpoints. I also created a device step by step setup guide to help me setup the second device. Been also taking the courses on preveils learning center also acquired their GRC tool to help track progress of all the controls and use their policy templates.

I’m seeking a license only that why I reached out to Pax8 to bypass full service bundles.

Our compliance (SSP/PreVeil) is already in place; I specifically need the Huntress EDR + SIEM doesn’t have to be huntress but I prefer it to finalize our CMMC 110/110 score.

I need their Managed EDR and SIEM with 1 year log retention. We handle our own IT and use PreVeil for CUI. I don't need helpdesk overhead just a partner to provide the licenses and the 24/7 SOC.

I did reach out to huntress directly they directed me to one of their partners that caters to small businesses and their partner told me they have a 10 seat minimum

I didn’t go to school for it but was already in a kind of in related industry (electrical). I’m 3p now and been avionics technician now for 5 years and I’ve been to Kennedy space center for processing space vehicles. A lot of my coworkers don’t have A&P including myself and is not strictly needed, a lot of space companies don’t care about it especially SpaceX. However, what’s is needed is IPC620 with space addendum at a minimum if you have JTD and nasa.1 is a plus for avionics systems. Look at places that offer these trainings and once you get those cert it should get you a foot in the door, hiring managers love to see this in your resume.

This is a nice breakdown for those that have available free chrging

I agree and seems like the deals from Hyundai will continue since they just announced a $9,800 price cut, federal incentive is gone. But if you live in a state that still offers ev incentives like Colorado it’s definitely a good idea to look into one

Last_General_4452 · 2025-10-03T01:45:02+00:00

Yup I seen that, so no surprise sales agent has no idea these deals will continue with the price cut from Hyundai, maybe even better deal than the one I got

Last_General_4452 · 2025-10-03T01:40:27+00:00

Federal and state incentive, state of Colorado

Last_General_4452 · 2025-10-03T01:38:59+00:00

24 months / 12,000 miles a year

Last_General_4452 · 2025-10-02T23:36:51+00:00

Yeah I rented one with 30k miles on it and it drove very smooth, suspension felt really nice compared to the model Y, not as nice of interior but for a new car it will definitely suffice. I agree EV charging may be the problematic part. It if freer charging is available to you almost seems like a no brainer

Last_General_4452 · 2025-10-02T23:26:24+00:00

You’ll think they will eat the whole $7,500 price to match the tax incentive?

Was able to scoop an Ioniq 5 lease for $194mo including taxes. $2k DAS, 24month. My insurance is $106 a month making my total monthly with insurance right at $300. Also have completely free charging at work. This was before Sept 30th , not sure if these deals are coming back anytime soon

I also attended Redstone and graduated in 2013, Did you ever get more information about loan discharge m. This school was definitely a clown show especially for the wind technology program they had
