From Chaos to Compliance: A Smarter, Cost-Effective Path to CMMC Success
Many defense contractors face the challenge of determining whether the investment in CMMC compliance is truly worth it. Even after budgets are set, leaders still ask, “What exactly am I getting for my money?” With the right strategy, compliance can be simplified, costs reduced, and security strengthened simultaneously. CMMC compliance experts will share real-world lessons from guiding more than twenty-five organizations to successful assessments with perfect scores.
Key Takeaways:
Attendees will learn how to avoid common scoping pitfalls, use precision CUI discovery to reduce cost and risk, and leverage secure enclaves to protect critical data. The session will also cover how to evaluate vendors, the business value of NIST 800-171 practices beyond compliance, and why right-sized compliance both strengthens security and protects contracts. A Fortune 500 case study will highlight how one contractor cut its compliance scope by 60 percent and achieved certification on the first attempt.
