HAMILTON, NJ, USA, June 17, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Executives in the US defense supply chain know that CMMC compliance is in their future. But keeping up with the latest announcements from the US Department of Defense (DoD) and other CMMC program entities isn’t always easy or top-

of-mind. Wouldn’t it be great to have an expert brief you and your team on everything you need to know (including what you didn’t know you need to know) in a few minutes?

On one level, CMMC has been a moving target since it was first announced. But as things now stand, nothing has really changed from a security controls perspective since NIST 800-171 compliance requirements first appeared in DoD contracts back in 2017. Brush aside some surface level confusion and the key takeaways are clear.

To bring clients and other listeners up to date on the latest CMMC announcements, observations and educated guesses, Pivot Point Security CISO and Managing Partner John Verry just recorded a special “executive briefing” episode of The Virtual CISO Podcast.

Topics discussed include:
• The official CMMC 2.0 rollout schedule, including when CMMC language will appear in DoD contracts
• Contract award details, including whether you can win a contract without a CMMC certification
• Why the DoD is now emphasizing that “nothing has changed” in the past 5 years about the need for DIB orgs handling CUI to level up their security postures with NIST 800-171
• What the US Department of Justice Civil Cyber-Fraud Initiative has to do with DIB orgs’ CMMC compliance risk
• Bottom-line observations on whether CMMC certification will be “worth it” for your business

If you do business in the defense supply chain, be sure to listen in ASAP and share the podcast link with your team.
