When asked if they’re ready for CMMC 2.0, many DoD contractors respond with, “I’m Good.” This typically means one of three things:
1. They have an exceptional GRC/Cybersecurity team and are fully prepared.
2. They don’t see the need for help.
3. They are kicking the can down the road.
However, recent DoD audits of contractors reveal a significant gap between contractors’ self-assessment scores and DoD audit scores. The average self-assessment score is 50, while the DoD’s average is -50—a 100-point gap! The reason -- achieving full compliance with NIST 800-171 is challenging.
Most DoD contractors aren't ready and need additional education and support. This event is designed to provide that support, helping you not only prepare for CMMC but learn how to use it to your advantage.
