During the July 30 MBC Meet Up CMMC – What to Do Now, industry experts Kim Irving of Minerva Cyber Technologies and Eberichi (Ebbie) Uguamole of Captiva Solutions helped separate fact from headlines, and focused on achievable actions that contractors should be doing right now to navigate recent changes to CMMC guidelines.
Key takeaways included:
- The recent CMMC program pause does not eliminate existing cybersecurity obligations.
- Continue improving your security posture, documenting compliance efforts, and maintaining defensible evidence.
- Federal contractors should remain focused on protecting FCI and CUI while preparing for future CMMC requirements.
- Organizations should avoid over- or under-representing their compliance status and ensure claims are supported by documented practices.
- Readiness efforts should continue now so your organization is prepared when requirements are implemented.
A special thank you to our moderator Bill Dunahoo of Nexxis Solutions and presenters Kim Irving and Ebbie Uguamole for sharing their expertise and providing practical guidance to help organizations stay prepared despite evolving policy timelines.
