SUMMARY:Cyber Friday: Vetting and Creating Agreements with Subcontractors and 3rd Party Service Providers
DESCRIPTION:The Cyber Friday series will continue with the topic\, “Vetting and Creating Agreements with Subcontractors and 3rd Party Service Providers” on Friday\, October 21\, at 11:00 AM. To Register\, please click here. \nCompanies are not at liberty to select just any subcontractor or third-party service provider without ensuring that those companies are eligible to receive and use the information being provided. Additionally\, relying upon a past review may not be sufficient since staff and/or company ownership can change\, and eligibility requirements such as SAM\, JSP\, ITAR\, and/or SPRS can expire. Each contract has requirements that define eligibility and qualifications necessary for the types of information involved. Therefore\, it is important for both contract compliance and information security perspectives that companies be aware of these requirements and develop a system that provides current information both for new and existing supply chain members. \nThis webinar will review a variety of scenarios\, regulations\, requirements\, and analysis required. Additionally\, suggestions will be provided with respect to best practices and documentation that should be used for contract compliance. \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

The average company can complete these requirements\, but it does take time and awareness of what is required. Knowing a resource such as WPI can help to streamline and accelerate the process. \n\nSpeaker: Marc Violante\, Director\, Federal Market Strategies\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \nTo view the full schedule of DoD Supplier Roadmap Series webinars\, please click here. \n  \n\n

SUMMARY:Cyber Friday: Four Key Building Blocks to Use in Developing and Implementing a Comprehensive System Security Plan
DESCRIPTION:The Cyber Friday series will continue with the topic\, “Four Key Building Blocks to Use in Developing and Implementing a Comprehensive System Security Plan” on Friday\, October 7\, at 11:00 AM. To register\, please click here. \nSystem Security Plans (SSP) are not solely a requirement created for NIST 800-171 and the DoD Basic Assessment. The system security plan is fundamental to all cyber security efforts. All companies should take time to develop one and manage it. Unfortunately\, many DoD suppliers view the SSP as a byproduct of conduction the DoD Basic Assessment – essentially a checkmark generated document. \nA SSP should be one of the fundamental organizational documents that helps to guide the company in developing its IT infrastructure and establishing a firm foundation for protecting and securing all types of sensitive information by outlining company and customer driven cybersecurity requirements. This webinar will provide an overview of SSPs\, the type of information used to develop SSPs\, and four key considerations that should be incorporated into the plans. \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

SUMMARY:Cyber Friday - CMMC: DFARS 252.204-7012; Information Security - Similarities and Differences
DESCRIPTION:The Cyber Friday series will continue with the topic\, “CMMC DRAFS 252.204-7012; Information Security – Similarities and Differences” on Friday\, September 23 at 11:00 AM. To register\, please click here. \nA CMMC L1 or L2 certification does not guarantee compliance with all DFARS 252.204-7012 requirements and does not guarantee that a company will correctly handle other categories of information such as ITAR or JCP. The same is true about ITAR and CMMC. A fully functional ITAR compliance program will not begin to satisfy CMMC requirements. Ultimately\, for each company to correctly handle different categories of information requires that they first know what information they are receiving and handling. Secondly\, each company must have a detailed knowledge and understanding of each of the programs and program requirements. \nThis webinar will provide a top-level overview of the major categories of information and key differences between them. \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

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
