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
