SUMMARY:Acquisition Hour: Wage and Hour Laws in our ‘New Normal’
DESCRIPTION:For many employers\, there is significant confusion as to what federal wage and hours laws mean during these COVID-19 times we live in. The times have changed\, but the laws haven’t. So\, it’s crucial that employers understand what federal wage and hour laws mean in these ‘non-normal’ times we live in. What are the rules for employees taking time off for COVID-related reasons? What about meal breaks and travel time? Who is exempt from overtime? Get some answers on these and other issues. This session\, conducted by Corey Walton of the U.S. Department of Labor-Wage & Hour Division\, will help employers connect those wage and hour dots as they navigate through COVID-19 challenges in the workplace. \n  \nSpeakers: \n\nCorey Walton\, Community Outreach and Resource Planning Specialist\, U.S. Department of Labor/Wage & Hour Division\nBen Blanc\, Government Contract Specialist\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute (WPI)\n\nThis webinar qualifies for 1 CPE credit. \nTo view a schedule of all upcoming webinars\, CLICK HERE. \n\n

SUMMARY:Cyber Friday: Cyber Security Compliance with DFARS 252.204-7012 and 252.204-7020
DESCRIPTION:Calculating a Cyber Summary Score is not sufficient to provide adequate security and providing adequate security will not by itself comply with DFARS 252.204-7020. There are similarities between these clauses but there are also major differences which companies should understand and ensure that they incorporate into their contract compliance efforts. \nUntil CMMC v2.0 is formally rolled-out\, and DFARS 252.204-7021 is included in solicitations and contract awards\, companies in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) must adhere to DFARS 252.204-7020 NIST SP 800-171 DOD ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENTS (NOV 2020) to be eligible for contract award as either a Prime or a subcontractor. \nDon’t be misled by the term “self-assessment.” The DoD Basic self-assessment is neither a stand-alone document\, nor is it the starting point for DoD cyber security compliance. It is most definitely not a requirement to be taken lightly or casually. Rather\, completing this document requires knowledge of the company’s cyber security status and also a sound understanding of DoD’s policies\, requirements and expectations. When completed the summary score should characterize the company’s cyber security activities that are in-place and planned. \n  \nWhy you should attend – \nAttendees will gain information and insight into this DFARS requirement and DoD cyber security requirements. They will be better equipped to determine whether they can undertake completing the assessment in-house or if they should outsource all or specific aspects of the assessment. For companies considering outsourcing this requirement\, this webinar series will help to prepare attendees to develop pertinent scopes of work and evaluate third-party responses. Additionally\, companies that have completed an assessment will be better able to review and evaluate their scoring methodology and overall cyber security program. \n  \nSpeaker: Marc Violante\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \nView a schedule of all upcoming Cyber Friday webinars. \n\n

SUMMARY:Cyber Friday: Understanding the DOD Basic Assessment and its Role in Measuring a Company’s Efforts to Secure Sensitive (CUI) Data
DESCRIPTION:DOD’s Basic Assessment captures a snapshot of a company’s System Security Plan and its Plan of Action.  It reflects the efforts at a point in time and provides a baseline\, a starting point for all future efforts. Achieving a perfect score of 110 is the goal and to do so will require companies to commit to this idea\, develop plans\, resources and a solid understanding to the tools and resources needed to complete this journey. \nUntil CMMC v2.0 is formally rolled-out\, and DFARS 252.204-7021 is included in solicitations and contract awards\, companies in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) must adhere to DFARS 252.204-7020 NIST SP 800-171 DOD ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENTS (NOV 2020) to be eligible for contract award as either a Prime or a subcontractor. \nDon’t be misled by the term “self-assessment.” The DoD Basic self-assessment is neither a stand-alone document\, nor is it the starting point for DoD cyber security compliance. It is most definitely not a requirement to be taken lightly or casually. Rather\, completing this document requires knowledge of the company’s cyber security status and also a sound understanding of DoD’s policies\, requirements and expectations. When completed the summary score should characterize the company’s cyber security activities that are in-place and planned. \n  \nWhy you should attend – \nAttendees will gain information and insight into this DFARS requirement and DoD cyber security requirements. They will be better equipped to determine whether they can undertake completing the assessment in-house or if they should outsource all or specific aspects of the assessment. For companies considering outsourcing this requirement\, this webinar series will help to prepare attendees to develop pertinent scopes of work and evaluate third-party responses. Additionally\, companies that have completed an assessment will be better able to review and evaluate their scoring methodology and overall cyber security program. \n  \nSpeaker: Marc Violante\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \nView a schedule of all upcoming Cyber Friday webinars. \n\n

SUMMARY:Cyber Friday: Using Security Logs for Cyber Security Program Development and Management
DESCRIPTION:Logs are an essential component of a cyber security program. Logs help to identify malicious activity and they are critical to performing forensic analysis. Understanding logs and their essential roles should be one of the major factors to consider when deciding whether to manage your cyber security program internally\, utilize a third-party or use a blended model. \nUntil CMMC v2.0 is formally rolled-out\, and DFARS 252.204-7021 is included in solicitations and contract awards\, companies in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) must adhere to DFARS 252.204-7020 NIST SP 800-171 DOD ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENTS (NOV 2020) to be eligible for contract award as either a Prime or a subcontractor. \nDon’t be misled by the term “self-assessment.” The DoD Basic self-assessment is neither a stand-alone document\, nor is it the starting point for DoD cyber security compliance. It is most definitely not a requirement to be taken lightly or casually. Rather\, completing this document requires knowledge of the company’s cyber security status and also a sound understanding of DoD’s policies\, requirements and expectations. When completed the summary score should characterize the company’s cyber security activities that are in-place and planned. \n  \nWhy you should attend – \nAttendees will gain information and insight into this DFARS requirement and DoD cyber security requirements. They will be better equipped to determine whether they can undertake completing the assessment in-house or if they should outsource all or specific aspects of the assessment. For companies considering outsourcing this requirement\, this webinar series will help to prepare attendees to develop pertinent scopes of work and evaluate third-party responses. Additionally\, companies that have completed an assessment will be better able to review and evaluate their scoring methodology and overall cyber security program. \n  \nSpeaker: Marc Violante\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \nView a schedule of all upcoming Cyber Friday webinars. \n\n

SUMMARY:Acquisition Hour: Overview of CPARS – How It Works and How To Optimize Your Score
DESCRIPTION:Past Performance will impact future contract awards. \nAs a Federal Contractor it is very important to understand the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS)\, which collects and maintains Contractor’s Past Performance Information. Past performance is now included in the selection criteria in Government contracts. It is essential for the Contractor to review the comments and ratings for timeliness and accuracy. Contractors should be aware that there may be an opportunity to modify results with the assessing official and possibly shape the performance evaluation. \nUnderstanding the process and management of the CPARS record may help win the next contract you are bidding on. \nSpeaker: Carol Murphy\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute (WPI) \n  \nThis webinar qualifies for 1 CPE credit. \nTo view a schedule of all upcoming webinars\, CLICK HERE. \n\n
