Even before CMMC is required by contracts, defense contractors have legal and financial risks from the contracts they have already fulfilled. In this webinar, CMMC Certified Assessor (CCA) Mike Semel will provide an overview of the CMMC program, explain common misconceptions, and provide guidance on how small businesses can successfully navigate the CMMC process.
