Join us for a complimentary lunch and learn seminar on March 12th to discuss how your company can prepare for CMMC compliance. With the CMMC proposed rule now published, CMMC requirements will begin appearing in defense contracts by 2025. Because it takes 12-18 months on average to become CMMC compliant, contractors must prepare now to be eligible for future contracts.
Attorney John Danyluk, who specializes in government contracting and cybersecurity compliance, will lead a panel discussion with leaders from CloudFit Software, a DoD cybersecurity company. The presentation will focus on major compliance and implementation concerns, including the timing of CMMC implementation, areas of focus by government regulators, cybersecurity compliance pitfalls, and competitive considerations when addressing CMMC obligations.
