Watch on-demand now for CMMC Assessments and C3PAOs: Preparing for Evolving Governance
As the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program transitions from its early rollout phase to full enforcement, the role of Certified Third-Party Assessment Organizations (C3PAOs) is under increasing scrutiny. Governance expectations are shifting, assessor variability remains a challenge, and contractors face growing pressure to prepare for consistent, fair, and predictable assessments.
Join NeoSystems, Forvis Mazars, CyberNINES, and Wise Technical Innovations for a webinar panel discussion that will provide a reality check on where things stand today and explore what’s next for the C3PAO community and the broader ecosystem. Industry experts will share candid observations, concerns, and lessons learned from the front lines of CMMC assessments. We’ll examine the implications of tighter governance, the operational maturity required of C3PAOs, and what contractors need to know to stay ahead.
Key Discussion Points:
- Transition from “startup mode” to a regulated ecosystem
- Increased scrutiny on assessor consistency and accountability
- Variability in interpretation of NIST SP 800-171 practices and evidence thresholds
- Subjectivity in Level 2 boundary determinations
- Operational readiness of C3PAOs under new oversight
- Risks and benefits of stronger governance: Does it protect the ecosystem or constrain expertise?
