Only 11 more days to register for CMMC Day on Dec. 3rd! NC defense contractors: this is your chance to spend an entire day learning about CMMC from NC experts. Who Should Attend:?Defense contractors- Leadership and those responsible for implementing CMMC AND their Managed Service/Security Providers (MSP/MSSP) or consultants. MSP/MSSPs that provide security protection for their clients will be considered in-scope to their client’s CMMC assessment. The content of the workshop will be geared toward preparing attendees for a CMMC Level 2 assessment, however contractors preparing for CMMC Level 1 will benefit from attending. Why attend: The CMMC Program rule is final and was published in the Federal Register on October 15th, with an effective date of Dec. 14th. CMMC third party assessments can begin, but the DoD will not put CMMC in contracts until the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) has been changed to include a CMMC clause. We expect the DFARS clause rule to be final by the end of the second quarter in 2025 with an effective date in the late summer or early fall of 2025. If you wait until the new DFARS rule is final, you will be behind. It takes most contractors 18 – 24 months to develop a secure, compliant cybersecurity program. Don't miss out!

Understanding CMMC 2.0: Key Changes and Implications for Defense Contractors by our Quadrant Four Team. The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program, initiated by the Department of Defense (DoD) to strengthen cybersecurity practices within the defense industrial base (DIB), has undergone significant revisions known as CMMC 2.0. These updates aim to simplify compliance while maintaining robust standards. Fundamental changes include reducing certification levels from five to three, introducing self-assessments for lower-risk contractors, and aligning with NIST standards. These adjustments aim to lower costs and administrative burdens, making compliance more accessible for small businesses. Industry feedback has been generally positive, highlighting improved flexibility and cybersecurity resilience across the defense supply chain.Marc Packler—CISSP, CISM, CASP, PMP, TS/SCI, Anthony Thomas, Mecheal Wickham, #cyber, & Quadrant Four

As the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) rolls out, compliance in the defense sector has never been more critical. At TalPoint, we've been closely monitoring the CMMC's implementation to understand its impact on our clients and the broader market. Here are some insights on how businesses can navigate these new waters: - Understanding your level is the first step in aligning your cybersecurity posture with CMMC standards. - Conducting a thorough gap analysis of your current cybersecurity practices against the CMMC's requirements can save significant time and resources. - Leveraging external expertise can accelerate your compliance journey.

We are thrilled to share the exciting news that we have successfully fulfilled all the requirements of the Cyber Security Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 Level 1 without Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), with a certified third-party attestation. In the near future, we are well-positioned to attain CUI and CMMC 2.0 Level 2 when required. ? Our journey towards this significant accomplishment commenced in 2017 with the NIST-800 171 requirements. Negotiating a winding path, we adapted to evolving cybersecurity standards, addressing new threats through enhanced tools, policies, and procedures. Today, we proudly stand ahead of the curve, aligning with the latest government standard of CMMC. ? While quantifying the exact number of contractors who have achieved this status remains challenging due to self-attestation, reports indicate that only 13% of DOD contractors meet the requirement. SeKON has gone the extra mile by securing a third-party certification from IGI Cybersecurity, showcasing our commitment to adhering to these standards. Furthermore, the percentage of contractors with a third-party attestation is even lower, emphasizing SeKON's dedication to maintaining cybersecurity maturity standards. This underscores our commitment, from robust policies and procedures to regular cataloging of evidence and investment in cutting-edge corporate cybersecurity tools. ? This accomplishment independently verifies SeKON's proven ability to execute and uphold cybersecurity hygiene standards at a world-class level. A heartfelt congratulations is extended to Claude Crocker, Margaret Crim and our Corporate Cyber Security team. #TeamSeKON #cmmc #cmmc2 #certification #cybersecurity #alwaysON
