MBC Meet Up: CMMC – What to Do Now

30Jul2026

Confused by the latest CMMC announcement?

The latest CMMC changes have left many small and mid-sized defense contractors with more questions than answers. While Phase II and third-party certifications are on hold, federal data must still be protected, and Phase I self-assessments remain in effect.

Designed for organizations with limited budgets and staff, this session focuses on practical, achievable actions—not one-size-fits-all solutions. We’ll explain what these changes mean for your business today and outline the steps you should take now to confidently achieve and maintain a credible CMMC Level 1 self-assessment. You’ll also learn how to preserve the value of previous Level 2 and NIST 800-171 investments while preparing for future program updates.

Leave with a realistic roadmap to strengthen your cybersecurity posture and adapt as the CMMC Reform Task Force continues to shape the program.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Complete and document a credible CMMC Level 1 self-assessment.
  • Prioritize the most impactful actions to strengthen your security posture over the next 30 days.
  • Maximize the return on previous Level 2 and NIST 800-171 investments instead of letting them become sunk costs.
  • Communicate your organization’s CMMC readiness and strategy to customers, primes, and government partners.
