Understanding CMMC 2.0: The What, Why and Who - CMMC Levels Explained

Join cybersecurity experts for a brief history of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program and progress on the program transition, tiers of certification and who needs to comply.

During this webinar, we'll take a deep dive into CMMC Levels 1, 2 and 3 – what each level entails, real-world examples and types of organizations impacted. Experts will unpack recurring pitfalls, improper or incomplete documentation, shaky scoping and boundary definitions, blind spots in CUI dataflows, “paper-only” policies that diverge from practice, weak evidence hygiene and overreliance on inherited controls or third-party vendors.

Attendees will gain a foundational knowledge of CMMC, understand its role in the DOW supply chain and take away proven best practices to avoid traps and map a realistic path to success.

Who Should Attend:
  • Defense contractors
  • IT leaders & cybersecurity professionals
  • Compliance officers
  • Government procurement consultants
  • Managed Service Providers (MSPs)
