The Pentagon is preparing to enforce the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements for small businesses, with compliance becoming mandatory in contracts starting November 10, 2025. Nearly 500 organizations have already achieved Level 2 certification, and the Defense Department is actively surveying small businesses to assess their readiness for these new standards. This initiative is expected to extend beyond Department of Defense contractors, potentially influencing other federal agencies and international partners to adopt similar cybersecurity measures.Recent reports highlight a concerning rise in cybersecurity threats, particularly in mobile attacks and ransomware incidents. According to the Verizon 2025 Mobile Security Index, 85% of organizations have reported increased mobile attacks, with 38% identifying AI-powered ransomware as a growing concern. Despite the widespread use of generative AI tools, only 17% of organizations have implemented specific security measures to counter AI-assisted attacks. Additionally, a report from Sophos indicates that 58% of retailers impacted by ransomware opted to pay the ransom, with the median demand doubling to $2 million.The episode also discusses the withdrawal of a controversial MIT Sloan paper that claimed 80% of ransomware attacks involved artificial intelligence, following criticism from cybersecurity experts. This incident underscores the issue of "AI-washing" in the cybersecurity sector, where unverified claims are made to attract attention. MSPs are advised to scrutinize such claims and focus on proven security practices rather than hype-driven narratives.For Managed Service Providers and IT decision-makers, the key takeaway is the importance of compliance and foundational cybersecurity practices. As the CMMC requirements loom, MSPs should consider developing readiness packages and tightening documentation processes. Additionally, the ongoing rise in lawsuits related to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) highlights the need for businesses to prioritize compliance as a critical aspect of risk management, reinforcing that effective cybersecurity and legal compliance are essential for sustainable operations. Four things to know today00:00 The Cyber Threats Are Real — But It's Not AI Geniuses, It's the Same Old Tricks Getting Smarter05:05 MIT's Big AI-Ransomware Claim Falls Apart — Turns Out the Data Didn't Hold Up07:09 The Pentagon's Rolling Out CMMC — and Small Businesses Are Feeling the Pressure on All Fronts10:27 Everyone Wants to Be Your Platform — New MSP Tools from Cisco, Barracuda, and WatchGuard Show WhyThis is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://saasalerts.com/mspradio/ 

⬥GUEST⬥Andrew Morgan, Chief Information Security Officer | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewmorgancism/⬥HOST⬥Host: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/imsmartin/ | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com⬥EPISODE NOTES⬥The cybersecurity community has long recognized an uncomfortable truth: the gap between well-resourced enterprises and underfunded organizations keeps widening. This divide isn't just about money; it's about survivability. When a small business, school, or healthcare provider is hit with a major breach, the likelihood of permanent closure is exponentially higher than for a large enterprise.As host of the Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast, I've seen this imbalance repeatedly — and the conversation with Andrew Morgan underscores why it persists and what can be done about it.The Problem: Structural ImbalanceLarge enterprises operate with defined budgets, mature governance, and integrated security operations centers. They can afford redundancy, talent, and tooling. Meanwhile, small and mid-sized organizations are often left with fragmented controls, minimal staff, and reliance on external vendors or managed providers.The result is a “have and have not” world. The “haves” can detect, contain, and recover. The “have nots” often cannot. When they are compromised, the impact isn't just reputational — it can mean financial collapse or service disruption that directly affects communities.The Hidden Costs of ComplexityEven when smaller organizations invest in technology, they often fall into the trap of overtooling without strategy. Multiple, overlapping systems create noise, false confidence, and operational fatigue. Morgan describes this as a symptom of viewing cybersecurity as a subset of IT rather than as a business enabler.Simplification is key. A rationalized platform approach — even if not best-of-breed — can deliver better visibility and sustainability than a patchwork of disconnected tools. The goal should not be perfection; it should be proportionate protection aligned with business risk.The Solution: Culture, Collaboration, and ContinuityCyber resilience starts with people and culture. As Morgan puts it, programs must be driven by culture, informed by risk, and delivered through people, process, and technology. Security can't succeed in isolation from the organization's purpose or its people.The Australian CISO Tribe provides a real-world model for collaboration. Its members share threat intelligence, peer validation, and practical experiences — a living example of collective defense in action. Whether formalized or ad-hoc, these networks give security leaders context, community, and shared strength.Getting Back to BasicsPractical resilience isn't glamorous. It's about getting the basics right — consistent patching, logging, phishing-resistant authentication, verified backups, and tested recovery plans. It's about ensuring that, if everything fails, you can still get back up.When security becomes a business-as-usual practice rather than a project, organizations begin to move from reactive defense to proactive resilience.The TakeawayBridging the cybersecurity divide doesn't require endless budgets. It requires prioritization, simplification, and partnership. The “have nots” may never mirror enterprise scale, but they can adopt enterprise discipline — and that can make all the difference between temporary disruption and permanent failure.⬥RESOURCES⬥Inspiring Post: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/andrewmorgancism_last-night-i-was-fortunate-enough-to-spend-activity-7383972144507994112-V3Zr/⬥ADDITIONAL INFORMATION⬥✨ More Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast: 

In this episode of Great Women in Compliance, host Sarah Hadden sits down with Nicole Rose—lawyer, artist, author, and creator of the FRAME Training Method—to explore how human behavior, psychology, and creativity can transform compliance from a checkbox exercise into a movement that drives real change. Nicole shares the story behind her “Moneyball Compliance” approach, showing how small, measurable behaviors can predict integrity, build stronger cultures, and make ethics training finally stick. The two also discuss Nicole's upcoming book, Told: How In-House Legal and Compliance Professionals Secure Airtime, Gain Traction, and Transform Organizations. Four Takeaways: 1. Compliance Is About People, Not Policies Nicole's journey from lawyer to artist to compliance innovator reveals that effective compliance starts with understanding human behavior and culture—not just ticking boxes or enforcing rules. 2. Behavior Beats Metrics Traditional compliance programs measure completion rates; Nicole's “Moneyball Compliance” approach measures behaviors that predict integrity—like speaking up, giving feedback, and practicing micro-activities that build ethical “muscle memory.” 3. Curiosity Is the Secret Ingredient Engagement happens when employees are curious. Nicole emphasizes creating “pre-frames” that connect compliance messages to what people already know and care about, making training meaningful and memorable. 4. Make It Real, Not Funny Humor has its place in presentations, but when it comes to serious topics like bribery, privacy, or human rights, authenticity and relatability are far more powerful than laughs. Real characters and relatable stories drive real change.

Implementing a national patient safety plan sounds straightforward on paper. In practice, it requires something far more challenging: shifting an entire organization's culture.  In this episode, Patricia McGaffigan, RN, VP, IHI; President, Certification Board for Professionals in Patient Safety, talks with the Vice President for Patient Safety and Compliance within Ascension, Kelly Randall, Ph.D. about how one of the nation's largest health systems is implementing the Safer Together National Action Plan across nearly 100 hospitals.   Their path forward involves creating tiered safety huddles that connect frontline nurses to executive leadership daily. They've launched programs like "We've Got Your Back" to protect those who speak up, and celebrate near misses alongside wins through their "Everyday Hero of Safety" recognition. They discuss how increased safety event reporting signals growing trust, not growing problems, and understanding that when nurses create workarounds, they're often highlighting things that do not work or broken systems.  This is a success story, but one that continues to unfold. It's about the ongoing work of opening communication channels, actively listening across all levels, breaking down hierarchical barriers, and continuous learning. As Kelly reminds us, sometimes you must walk, not run, to go faster when transforming culture.

Learning strategist Nick Briere shares how organizations can design experiences that do more than check boxes, empowering people to think, build, and innovate. Drawing from years of designing learning systems that balance human connection with measurable results, Nick reveals how leaders can shift mindsets, foster engagement, and turn every learning opportunity into a catalyst for transformation. He also explores how organizations can cultivate environments where learning feels less like an obligation and more like an invitation to grow, adapt, and create lasting impact across teams and industries.

This year, there's been a lot of focus on streamining the Federal Acquisition Regulation as the Trump administration moves through its big FAR overhaul project. But increasingly, the burdens of an overcomplicated acquisition system aren't just an issue for traditional government contractors.

Choosing a custodian to hold your client assets is one of the most important decisions you'll make when transitioning your practice to the RIA model.While it might at first seem as simple as picking from the “Big 3” (formerly “Big 4”) custodians, the reality is there are close to a dozen custodial providers to potentially choose from.Differentiators amongst them include: AUM minimums, pricing, approach to technology, value proposition, service offerings, etc.In the latest episode (#135) of the Transition To RIA question & answer series I discuss how these variables will factor into your custodial decision.Come take a listen!P.S.

At the Crexendo UGM, Dave Michels, Principal Analyst & Founder of TalkingPointz, sat down with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, to unpack “UCaaS Mobility 3” — a pragmatic, mobile-first model that moves enterprise calling from over-the-top apps to the cellular layer itself. Michels framed three generations of UCaaS mobility. Mobility 1 (find-me/follow-me) forwarded calls but split voicemail and caller ID. Mobility 2 (OTT softphone apps) worked well on strong internet — but faltered in truly mobile conditions (highway handoffs, variable coverage), pushing users back to personal cell numbers. Mobility 3 fixes this by placing the enterprise line on the SIM/eSIM: users choose business or personal at dial time, and enterprise calls ride native cellular voice for reliability, with full logging, recording, and policy control. The result: intuitive smartphone use (native dialer/contacts), optional UCaaS app, and clean work/personal separation without MDM intrusiveness. Michels highlighted why this matters now: Reliability on the move: Native cellular voice eliminates OTT fragility in transit. Compliance & CX: Enterprise calls and texts are captured and governed (finance, healthcare, education), and contact centers can transfer to subject-matter experts without losing recording/analytics. Frontline & deskless workers: Mobility-first roles (e.g., field services) can finally get enterprise-grade mobile that “just works.” Simplicity for IT & MSPs: One number can move across hard phone, soft client, and smartphone; less training and fewer behavior changes. Carrier convergence: With MVNO models (e.g., Crexendo's newly announced Xtend approach), service providers can bundle meetings, UCaaS, messaging, calling, and cellular — even globally — under a single brand and bill. Looking forward, Michels envisions “no more softphones” for many roles: users keep one phone, one dialer, two identities (business/personal), and enterprises preserve governance and data for AI-assisted analytics. For MSPs and resellers at UGM, the message was clear: Mobility 3 is a near-term, standard approach that elevates UCaaS into true mobile telephony, expands deal size and stickiness, and opens regulated and frontline segments.

Struggling with costs in your healthcare organization? Reach out to Michael.  Click Here for more info Episode Overview In this episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, Michael speaks with Michi McClure, Founder of Consivian, about her transformation from an “accidental leader” to a conscious architect of human and organizational growth. Michi shares how her firm evolved from its compliance origins into a full-spectrum business consultancy helping leaders and teams grow through authenticity, systems thinking, and self-awareness. Together, they explore what it means to build organizations that are not just compliant — but truly connected, conscious, and continually learning. Key Topics & Insights Authentic Connection as the Foundation of Growth Michael and Michi unpack how organizational health begins with authentic human connection. They discuss how leaders can create environments where people feel safe to speak openly, challenge ideas, and contribute meaningfully. Drawing inspiration from 3M's innovation culture and Amy Edmondson's research on psychological safety, the conversation highlights the power of balancing data-driven insight with genuine human empathy. The Power of Inclusion in Leadership Decisions Michael shares a story about a healthcare redesign initiative that excluded doctors from the planning process — a costly mistake that became a case study in why leaders must include all stakeholders. The story becomes a powerful metaphor for leadership humility, reminding us that sustainable change only happens when everyone's voice is invited to the table. Flexibility and Communication at Every Level Michi and Michael discuss how leaders can move beyond rigid structures and instead create flexible meeting formats, adaptive communication rhythms, and spaces for real-time problem-solving. They emphasize that leadership today isn't about following old rules — it's about being present, reflective, and responsive to what teams actually need. Visual Feedback and Leadership Awareness Michi shares her creative experiment with a “visual thermometer” on her office door, where her team could anonymously reflect how they perceived her leadership presence each day. This tool became a catalyst for self-awareness and emotional intelligence — qualities she believes are essential to modern leadership. Michael expands on the idea, encouraging leaders to “take their own pulse” after key interactions to assess connection and tone. Reflection as the Path to Personal and Organizational Growth Both Michi and Michael underscore the importance of reflective learning — recognizing blind spots, seeking feedback, and embracing discomfort as a teacher. Michi connects this process to burnout prevention, explaining how reflection and feedback re-energize leaders by aligning them more deeply with purpose. Creativity, Self-Care, and Sustainable Leadership In a discussion that blends philosophy and practicality, Michi advocates for leaders to give themselves “space and grace” to recharge creatively. Michael introduces the timeless “sharpen the saw” parable, illustrating how sustainable productivity requires rest, reflection, and recalibration. Together, they explore how Consivian helps leaders move from burnout to balanced, consistent performance — like the steady pace of a tortoise rather than the burnout-driven sprint of a hare. Navigating Organizational Change with Self-Awareness Michi dives into the challenges of change management, noting that many leaders attempt to “fix” others before examining their own systems. She encourages a shift toward self-inquiry, using feedback loops and system mapping to uncover invisible barriers that hinder transformation. Continuous Learning as a Business Imperative To close, Michi shares how continuous learning shapes the culture at Consivian — each client engagement becomes a new opportunity for insight, innovation, and growth. She invites listeners to explore more about her work and resources at consivian.com. Connect with Michi McClure & Consivian

By Adam Turteltaub If all you're worrying about is tone at the top, you're missing a key portion of the choir.  With most people reporting to middle managers, they play in integral role in ensuring a culture of compliance and ethics truly permeates the organization. Evie Wentink, Senior Compliance Consultant at Ethical Edge Experts observes that while many organizations invest in crafting comprehensive codes of conduct and articulate expectations for ethical leadership, they often fall short in equipping managers with the tools, training, and support necessary to fulfill those expectations. This gap can undermine the effectiveness of compliance efforts and leave companies vulnerable to ethical lapses. At the heart of the issue is a lack of intentional communication. Middle managers are frequently expected to embody and promote ethical leadership, yet they are rarely given a clear understanding of what that entails. To bridge this gap, organizations must develop structured plans that define ethical leadership in practical terms. These plans should include specific deliverables, resources, and expectations tailored to the manager's role. By doing so, companies can ensure that managers are not only aware of their responsibilities but also empowered to carry them out effectively. Authentic, ongoing conversations led by these managers are a cornerstone of a successful compliance culture. These discussions should not be limited to formal training sessions or annual reviews. Instead, they must be woven into the fabric of everyday operations. Managers should be encouraged—and required—to initiate “ethics or integrity minutes” at the start of team meetings. These brief segments provide a consistent opportunity to address ethical topics, reinforce values, and normalize open dialogue about compliance issues. To support these conversations, organizations should provide managers with practical tools. These might include: Ethics spotlight cards that highlight key compliance themes. News articles that can be used to spark discussion around real-world ethical dilemmas. Access to updated policies and codes of conduct, with notifications when changes occur. Tracking and analyzing these conversations is equally important. Compliance teams should maintain records of who is engaging in discussions, what topics are being covered, and which issues are generating the most questions. This data can be invaluable in identifying risk areas, refining training programs, and tailoring future communications. Often, the most common questions arise immediately after a training session, indicating that such moments are prime opportunities for deeper engagement. Moreover, it's essential to recognize the broader impact of middle management on organizational integrity. Prosecutors and regulators increasingly view middle managers as pivotal figures in corporate misconduct cases. Their actions—or inactions—can significantly influence whether a company succeeds or fails in maintaining ethical standards. Consequently, fostering a culture of accountability and proactive communication at this level is not just beneficial—it's critical. Ultimately, the goal is to create an environment where ethical conversations are natural, frequent, and valued. When managers consistently lead by example and facilitate open dialogue, employees become more comfortable raising concerns and asking questions. This cultural shift enhances transparency, reduces risk, and strengthens the overall integrity of the organization. In summary, bridging the compliance gap at the middle management level requires a multifaceted approach: clear expectations, practical tools, authentic conversations, and ongoing tracking. By investing in these areas, organizations can transform their compliance programs from static documents into dynamic, living systems that truly support ethical behavior at every level from the top on down.

H.R. 1, known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), is set to reshape hospital finances by cutting an estimated $840 billion from Medicaid and Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) funding. As hospitals absorb these losses, many are tightening budgets, reducing staff, and facing renewed labor tensions.For the first time, clinical documentation integrity (CDI) teams are part of this unionized landscape, connecting frontline workforce issues directly to reimbursement and data accuracy. When strikes or slowdowns occur, they can disrupt queries, coding, and claims, creating both financial and compliance risks.
