Overview
In this split session, you will hear from three experts on cybersecurity compliance and approaches. You will learn about Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) including background on the certification and its rollout. You will leave the session with an understanding of controlled unclassified information (CUI) and the difference between CMMC LV1 and Level 3. The presenters will share a process that starts with gap assessment and moves through remediation and pre-audit. They will explain the differences between Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) programs across the country and share resources to help with your compliance journey.
You will also learn about the U.S. Department of Defense’s new approaches to cybersecurity and compliance, and how Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) relates to CMMC. Information about the Interim Rule, Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) and the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) will be shared during this session, and we will discuss potential benefits of being an early adopter.
