Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC)

The Department of Defense (DoD) has been talking about making the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) a contractual requirement in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) for years. The Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) has already been a requirement in the DIB for more than five years. Learn what the latest is on CMMC requirements: When is the earliest it might be a requirement, when is the earliest you can plan of getting certified, what does the certification process look like, and what should you budget for it.

After attending, the participants will better understand the following about CMMC:

1. Learn about CMMC 2.0 including the difference between CMMC and other frameworks (NIST 800-171, NIST CSF, CIS Controls, ISO 27001)

2. Learn about CMMC Certification Requirements

3. Learn about CMMC Certification Budgeting and Planning: When is the earliest it might be a requirement, when is the earliest you can plan of getting certified, what does the certification process look like, and what should you budget for it.
