Welcome to the CMMC Bootcamp!

The Defense Industrial Base (DIB) sector is the target of increasingly frequent and sophisticated cyberattacks. In response, the DoD is installing the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 program designed to safeguard American innovation and national security information. This initiative requires all contractors and subcontractors participating in DoD contracts at any tier of the supply chain to fully implement the CMMC practices by the beginning of 2025 to be eligible for DoD work. CONNSTEP, the NIST Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) regional authority, will conduct five (5) consecutive half-day workshop training sessions that will guide participants in the implementation of NIST SP 800-171 practices to improve the Department of Defense Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) compliance score and drive preparedness for CMMC 2.0 Level 2 audit. 

We will discuss:

• Key elements of the CMMC 2.0 Published Rule requirements, rollout timeline, and impact on subcontractors.
• CUI/FCI identification, marking, and scoping documentation development. Basic and derived controls in each domain of NIST SP 800-171, both the requirements’ objectives and methods of complying. 
• Hands-on exercises to develop customized Policies & Procedures, System Security Plans, and Incident Response Plan required documentation – customizable templates will be provided. 
• Policies & Procedures implementation techniques and best practices. 
• Building a culture of security within an organization. 
• Risk Assessment and Risk Management methodologies and procedures. 
• Additional free resources to support the implementation of required cybersecurity controls.
