SUMMARY:Cyber Thursday: A Guide to Strong Supporting Documentation
DESCRIPTION:Strong supporting documentation is what separates a passing CMMC assessment from a failed one. Assessors do not award credit for controls they cannot verify on paper. This Cyber Thursday session walks contractors through the documentation that underpins a CMMC Level 2 assessment\, including the System Security Plan (SSP)\, policies and procedures\, the Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M)\, evidence artifacts\, and the assessment objective mappings that tie everything together.\nThis session covers what each document should contain\, how a C3PAO assessor uses documentation during an assessment\, common reasons documentation is rejected\, and how to organize an evidence package that withstands assessor scrutiny. Contractors preparing for a CMMC assessment\, developing their first SSP\, or refining existing documentation will leave with a clearer understanding of what “assessment ready” documentation looks like and where gaps commonly occur. \nSpeaker: Matt Frost\, Government Contract Specialist\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute – WI APEX Accelerator \n\n\n\nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \nFor the full schedule of the Cyber Thursday webinars\, please click here.
