After years of speculation and rulemaking, CMMC is now the reality for nearly every company that works with the Department of Defense (DoD). The rule is complex, and the timeline is tight: many primes are already enforcing adherence to CMMC standards even before the requirement is officially in contracts in 2025, meaning subcontractors may be subject to an accelerated pace for compliance in order to preserve their business. Every company must have a clear understanding of what is required to ensure a successful assessment and CMMC compliance; will your company be ready? Join Bill Wootton, Chief Revenue Officer at C3 Integrated Solutions, break down the individual steps required to go from ground zero to a successful assessment, including strategy development, tech deployment and ongoing management. In addition, attendees will also learn how to manage ongoing CMMC compliance to ensure business continuity as technology - and the rule - changes in the future. Attendees will learn (learning objectives): 1. Best practices for building a CMMC strategy 2. How to determine your technology needs and deploy the right platform(s). 3. Best practices for managing technology in a changing compliance landscape 4. Key components of security monitoring 5. How to plan for ongoing compliance management
