Program description: Navigating the CMMC landscape can be complex—especially for mid-sized businesses preparing for C3PAO assessments. With companies starting to realize that the CMMC is here to stay, and with CFR32 now finalized and CFR48 nearing its final release, many organizations are working to get ahead of the curve to gain either their C3PAO or CMMC certifications. And with only 74 organizations certified as C3PAO assessors, they know it’s time to act now.  Join members of CohnReznick’s Cybersecurity, Technology Risk and Privacy Practice, along with Bill Wootton, CRO at C3 Integrated Solutions, and Mike Yeatman, Senior Director of Information Security, at ePlus for an engaging and informative webinar where industry leaders will explore the common challenges of the C3PAO process, share real-world experiences, and offer practical guidance to help your organization stay on track with compliance.
