Quick question: When did you last audit who has access to what in your organization?

If the answer is "not recently" — or "I'm not sure" — you're not alone. And you're also not as protected as you think.

Tomorrow we're hosting a free 30-minute briefing for business leaders: "Zero Trust Security: What It Actually Is — And What It Means for Your Business"

📅 June 2 | ⏰ 2pm EST; 11am PST | 💻 Free

We'll cover the 5 most practical steps toward Zero Trust — starting with the one that stops most data breaches — and explain why this isn't just an IT conversation anymore.

If your clients trust you with sensitive information, this session is for you.

🔐 Everyone's talking about Zero Trust security. But when we ask leaders what it actually means ... most aren't sure.

That's not a criticism. It's a marketing problem. "Zero Trust" gets slapped on products, proposals, and press releases constantly, often without meaning much at all.

We're cutting through the noise.

📅 June 2 ⏰ 2PM EST

Cybersecurity isn’t just about strong passwords, firewalls, and software patches. Unauthorized physical access to a device can create just as much risk.

When a computer is left unlocked, even for a few minutes, an unauthorized person could access sensitive emails, resident information, financial records, internal documents, public safety systems, or other municipal applications. This is especially important in shared offices, service counters, council chambers, public works areas, conference rooms, and other public or high-traffic spaces.

Before stepping away from your computer, always lock your screen. It only takes a second and helps prevent unauthorized access.

You can use these quick shortcuts:
🪟 Windows PC: Press `Windows + L`
🍎 Mac: Press `Control + Command + Q`

Locking your screen is a simple habit that protects your work, your coworkers, your residents, and your municipality from avoidable security incidents. If you walk away from your desk, lock your screen first.

Your biggest CMMC risk may not be failing the audit. It may be getting one in time.

For DoD contractors and subcontractors handling CUI, the challenge is no longer just readiness. It is capacity.

With 80,000+ organizations expected to need CMMC Level 2 certification and a limited number of accredited C3PAOs available to assess them, delays are becoming a real business risk.

Join SeraBrynn an accredited C3PAO, and VC3 on May 20 for a practical webinar on what Level 2 subcontractors should be doing now to prepare for third-party assessment, avoid scheduling delays, and improve audit readiness.
