CMMC Workshop

As the Department of Defense (DoD) continues to roll out its Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program, both government acquisition professionals and the contracting community are working to understand and implement the certification requirements. A change to Defense acquisition rules last November kicked off new requirements for self-certification on security, strategy plans and reporting milestones. The General Services Administration also began including CMMC certification as a requirement in upcoming contracts, and DoD indicated it would offer CMMC reciprocity to FedRAMP authorized cloud providers to help mitigate the costs of new assessments.

In this workshop, industry leaders discussed the latest CMMC requirements and what may be ahead for acquisition and contracting executives concerning cyber certifications and audits.
