SUMMARY:Cyber Thursday: Cybersecurity Requirements for Non-Department of War Contractors and Suppliers
DESCRIPTION:Federal cybersecurity requirements aren’t limited to Department of War contractors. Civilian agencies\, prime contractors\, and suppliers throughout the federal supply chain are increasingly subject to similar requirements\, even when they do not contract directly with the Department of War. This Cyber Thursday session is designed for contractors outside the Department of War ecosystem who still need to understand FAR 52.204 21 basic safeguarding requirements\, the forthcoming FAR CUI rule\, CISA directives\, and agency specific cybersecurity clauses that are frequently flowed down through federal contracts.\nThis session will cover current cybersecurity requirements\, what changes are expected in the near future\, and how to identify cybersecurity obligations embedded in contracts before they become compliance risks. Whether you contract directly with a civilian agency\, supply a federal prime contractor\, or are considering entering the federal marketplace for the first time\, this webinar will help you understand baseline expectations\, required documentation\, and practical first steps toward compliance. \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.

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.

SUMMARY:Cyber Thursday: Determining Your Real CMMC Compliance Responsibilities
DESCRIPTION:Not every Defense contractor handling federal information needs CMMC Level 2—and not every contractor who believes they are exempt actually is. This Cyber Thursday session helps Defense contractors determine their real CMMC compliance responsibilities by walking through the questions that define scope: what type of information flows through a contract (FCI vs. CUI)\, which cybersecurity clauses appear in the solicitation\, where data is stored and processed\, and how flow down requirements from prime contractors can change a contractor’s obligations.\nThis session will cover how to read contracts for cybersecurity requirements\, how to identify CUI when it is not explicitly marked\, the differences between CMMC Levels 1\, 2\, and 3\, and common scoping mistakes that cause contractors to over invest\, under invest\, or miss CMMC requirements entirely. Contractors who are uncertain whether CMMC applies to them\, who have been told it does and want confirmation\, or who are trying to right size their scope before pursuing CMMC will leave with a clearer understanding of their actual obligations. \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.
