With the Department of Defense advancing the formal rulemaking process for the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program, federal contractors must prepare now to align with the latest regulatory expectations—especially as DFARS updates and certification requirements become enforceable.

The session will feature Morgan Kaplan, Director of Government Strategy & Affairs at Vanta, who will interview Bryan Siegel (Director of Compliance at CDA) and Francis Schmuff (CEO of CDA). The panel will share practical advice on achieving CMMC compliance, maintaining contract eligibility, and avoiding the most common missteps during certification readiness.

“CMMC has moved from guidance to enforcement. The new regulations are here, and contractors must respond quickly and strategically,” said Bryan Siegel of CDA. “This webinar is about helping organizations understand the stakes and take the right steps forward.”

The webinar will address urgent priorities, including:

• Implementation timelines under Title 48 CFR, including phased enforcement beginning in late 2025, with CMMC requirements integrated into new DoD contract solicitations through 2028
• What contractors must do now to meet Level 1 and Level 2 certification requirements
• How DFARS clauses will soon require proof of CMMC compliance for new awards and renewals
• Top readiness gaps putting contractors at risk of disqualification
• Immediate actions to secure contract eligibility and avoid disruption to your federal pipeline

Attendees will receive a CMMC readiness checklist and will be eligible for a limited-time discount on compliance services from both CDA and Vanta.
