Lastly\, there are efforts and support associated with assisting affected communities to “pick up the pieces” and rebuild. This webinar will take a broader view of disasters to explore business and funding opportunities related to all phases of disaster preparation\, response and post disaster federal involvement and resources. \n  \nSpeaker: Marc Violante\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \nView a schedule of all upcoming Acquisition Hour webinars. \n\n

SUMMARY:Cyber Friday: CMMC - Are You Ready?
DESCRIPTION:The Cyber Friday series will continue with the topic\, “CMMC – Are You Ready” on Friday\, September 9 at 11:00 AM. To register\, please click here. \nYou have your System Security Plan\, a Plan of Action\, and have uploaded your DoD Basic Assessment score and associated information into SPRS. These are the core requirements which underpin both the current DoD Basic Assessment requirements and form the foundation for future CMCC requirements. \nThe major differences between the Basic Self-assessment and CMCC are the level of formality applied to the management and administration of the program and the level of detail and discernment employed in conducting either an internal self-assessment for Level 1 and some Level 2 programs and for third-party assessments for all other Level 2 assessments. In all cases\, DoD Suppliers should review their programs as an external reviewer would. \nThe key questions that this webinar will address are: \n\nWhat does that really mean?\nHow does a company successfully adopt the appropriate mindset?\nWhat documentation is required and what is satisfactory level of detail\n\n\nSpeaker: Marc Violante\, Director\, Federal Market Strategies\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute \nFor the full schedule of the Cyber Friday webinars\, please click here. \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \n
