CMMC introduces structured certification requirements for organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), but the path to compliance is often unclear in practice.

In this session, Insight Assurance and RADICL discuss what organizations are actually experiencing as they prepare for CMMC assessments. The conversation covers scoping, documentation, assessment readiness, and ongoing compliance, with a focus on simplifying the process and avoiding common pitfalls.

What We Cover

  • Post-audit planning and sustaining compliance beyond certification
  • Common scoping challenges, including defining CUI boundaries and system environments
  • Differences between readiness, certification, and continuous monitoring
  • The role of frameworks like Zero Trust in supporting CMMC alignment
  • How to structure documentation, evidence, and control ownership
  • What to expect during the assessment process, including timelines and phases
  • Practical preparation steps such as mock assessments and staff readiness
  • Managing ongoing compliance, contract timelines, and supply chain risks

Why It Matters

CMMC compliance involves more than implementing controls. Scoping accuracy, documentation quality, and audit readiness all directly impact assessment outcomes and timelines.

Organizations that misunderstand requirements or delay preparation often face rework, extended timelines, or contract delays. A structured and practical approach helps reduce uncertainty and supports a smoother path to certification.

Who Should Watch

  • Defense contractors and subcontractors handling CUI
  • Organizations preparing for CMMC assessments
  • Compliance, security, and GRC leaders within the DIB
  • Teams responsible for audit readiness and ongoing compliance
