The Department of Defense (DOD) has released the highly anticipated proposed rule for the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Program (CMMC). CMMC is a unified assessment model released by the DoD in response to the growing threat of cyberattacks and data theft from its supply chain vendors. As proposed, this program requires every Federal contractor that handles DoD sensitive data to comply with certain cybersecurity controls. CMMC will bring greater scrutiny to contractors’ cybersecurity compliance and greater risks associated with failure to comply. To achieve certification, you’re required to prove that your organization can meet a myriad of security control obligations, a process that can be daunting if you’re not familiar with the policies, procedures, and practices that may be required when the program is finalized.

Join us as we discuss CMMC in a live panel webinar featuring Privacy & Cybersecurity and Government Contracts attorneys Evan Wolff, Michael Gruden, Nkechi Kanu, Jacob Harrison and Alexis Ward. Topics will include:

  • Overview of the CMMC proposed rule for CMMC.
  • The CMMC certification process and what to expect.
  • Recommendations for organizations to achieve CMMC certification.
  • Impact of CMMC attestations on other cyber disclosure regulations (e.g, FCA, SEC, etc.).
  • CMMC effects on supply chain management.

On-Going Government Audits of Small Business Programs: Why the Federal Government’s Focus on ‘Waste, Fraud, and Abuse’ Impacts Both Large and Small Contractors

The federal government has identified purported ‘waste, fraud, and abuse’ in small business programs as a major focus of its current enforcement efforts. As it relates to federal procurement, we have seen audits and investigations rolled out not only of active participants in the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development Program but also reviews of various types of small business contracts (such as 8(a) sole source and set-aside awards, preference-based awards, and small business set-aside awards over particular values). Join Crowell & Moring as we discuss what aspects of contract performance and teaming arrangements are being scrutinized (e.g., size/status eligibility, limitations on subcontracting compliance, reasonableness of market rates, etc.) and how these considerations can impact both small government contractors holding the prime contracts under review and their subcontractors. ...
