Overview of the CMMC Compliance Model

Join us for a compelling 2-hour overview CPE training event where we will dive into the world of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). This program, being developed by the Department of Defense, is an assessment framework and assessor certification program aimed at enhancing trust in compliance measures related to cybersecurity.

In this overview, we'll provide key insights into the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program and its significance in meeting the information security requirements for Defense Industrial Base (DIB) partners.

The CMMC program, aligned with the Department of Defense's (DoD) information security requirements, is designed to enforce cybersecurity practices across the defense supply chain. By implementing CMMC, organizations can demonstrate their commitment to securing Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

Key points to be covered in this 2 CPE event:

The CMMC model provides a framework with five levels of cybersecurity practices, ensuring different levels of security maturity within organizations. We will explore how these levels impact compliance and the overall security posture of organizations involved with the DoD.

2. Key Changes in CMMC 2.0

CMMC 2.0 includes notable changes compared to previous versions. We will cover these changes, such as updates to compliance levels, self-assessment processes, and modifications to cybersecurity controls. Understanding these changes is crucial for organizations striving to maintain compliance with the latest CMMC requirements.

3. Achieving CMMC Compliance

This section will provide guidance on achieving and maintaining CMMC compliance. We will explore best practices, tools, and resources to help organizations navigate the certification process successfully.
