Webinar – What Contractors Need to Know about the CMMC Proposed Rule, Feb 5

At the end of December, DoD released its long-awaited proposed rule to establish the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Program. Please join the Coalition for a webinar on February 5 from 12:00 – 1:00pm EST as we host a terrific panel to discuss the proposed rule and address some of the questions contractors may be asking regarding what comes next.  The panelists will be:

• Townsend Bourne, Partner, Sheppard Mullin
• Bob Metzger, Shareholder, Rogers Joseph O’Donnell
• Michael Gruden, Counsel, Crowell & Moring

Covered topics:

• An overview of the proposed rule for CMMC and what contractors need to focus on first;
• What the proposed rule resolves and what was left ambiguous;
• The CMMC attestation and certification process and what to expect;
• Impact of CMMC attestations on other cyber disclosure regulations (FCA, SEC, etc.);
• CMMC effects on supply chain management;
• Timing of the rulemaking and when the rule likely will be effective;
• Key issues for potential comments, e.g., use of cloud-based external services providers;
• Special challenges for smaller businesses; and
• What this means for companies at Level 1 (with FCI) but not Level 2 (CUI), and COTS products suppliers.
