CMMC: An Overview and New Developments

Presenter: Preston Bukaty, Consultant, IT Governance USA

According to the U.S. DoD (Department of Defense), the CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is “a unified cybersecurity standard for future DoD acquisitions.” The CMMC will serve as a tiered certification scheme to help the DoD assess cybersecurity readiness when seeking suppliers and subcontractors. 

The CMMC reviews and combines various cybersecurity standards and best practices to help contractors map controls and processes across five maturity levels that range from basic cyber hygiene to advanced. Join Preston Bukaty in this webinar where he will give an overview of the CMMC and discuss any exciting developments around this new cybersecurity standard.

In this webinar, Preston Bukaty will cover the following topics: 

  • An overview of the CMMC
  • Audit and assessment – the certification process outlined
  • How the CMMC differs from other cybersecurity standards
  • Which contractors and subcontractors need to comply
  • Future requirements – how to prepare now

Cybersecurity Issues with Teleconferencing Tools

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an unprecedented number of people working from home, and a surge in the use of tools such as Zoom, Signal, and Microsoft Teams to help employees communicate.  

Assessing whether these tools are secure has become a top priority. 

Zoom in particular has come under fire for not implementing privacy by design, thereby exposing users and organizations to a significant number of threats.  

In this webinar, our cybersecurity expert William Gamble discusses the legal requirements around electronic communication, and the vulnerabilities and threats that these teleconferencing tools expose organizations to. The webinar covers: 

  • Conferencing tools and their security configurations
  • HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) requirements for risk assessments
  • Other statutory considerations including the CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act), the BIPA (Biometric Information Privacy Act), and other U.S. cybersecurity or privacy laws

CMMC: Cybersecurity Certification for US Government Contractors

Delivered by Preston Bukaty, GDPR Consultant.

Due to growing concern that DOD subcontractors are not aware of or cannot adequately meet their security obligations for managing sensitive data, the OUSD(A&S) (Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment) introduced the CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) to help contractors demonstrate eligibility to work with the U.S. government.

The CMMC reviews and combines various cybersecurity standards and best practices to help contractors map controls and processes across five maturity levels that range from basic cyber hygiene to advanced.

Join us for this webinar to get insights into:

  • The CMMC draft and measures for safeguarding government information
  • A new certification scheme – an overview of the draft CMMC
  • Five levels – an in-depth review of the practices and processes
  • Audit and assessment – the certification process outlined

Online panel discussion – COVID-19 Cyber Risk and Data Privacy Response

The sudden global shift to remote working has brought unprecedented changes to social and work habits, and introduced new cyber risks and data privacy challenges that affect the way organizations need to operate.

As most employees are working from home, they may be accessing and processing information outside the organization’s normal security perimeter, which increases the risk of a data breach. With cyber criminals employing sophisticated phishing tactics and malicious websites to target staff by impersonating credible information sources around COVID-19, organizations need to implement security measures to address these challenges.
