Knowing the CMMC requirements and being ready for certification are two very different things. In this practical fireside chat, Fortreum's CMMC experts break down what assessors actually look for — and how to know when it's time to move toward certification with confidence.

A practical lens on readiness — not fear-based, not checkbox compliance. Here's what the conversation covers.
CMMC 2.0 is formally embedded in DFARS — certification in SPRS is mandatory for new DoD contracts, and primes must verify their subcontractors before award.
Repeatable processes, organized evidence, an SSP that reflects reality, manageable POA&Ms, and leadership that owns operational responsibility.
Documentation that doesn't match implementation, asset-inventory and CUI-boundary gaps, immature logging, and MFA or configuration mismatches.
Assessors validate evidence, consistency, traceability and demonstrated execution. They can tell quickly whether security lives in the org — or sits in a binder.
Clear signals it's time to move forward, and the warning signs that mean you should pause: technical debt, unclear scope, and unmanaged POA&Ms.
Validate readiness honestly, move past a self-attestation mindset, treat certification as operational validation, and understand assessor expectations early.
Works directly with contractors operationalizing security controls, focused on readiness and the realities of implementation.
