The Playbook

In this webinar, you will learn:

  1. How to avoid the common pitfalls that trip up contractors before and during the formal assessment process

  2. Why building a sustainable, repeatable compliance process matters more than checking boxes for a single audit

  3. What an informal gap assessment looks like, and how it gives you an honest picture of where you stand today

  4. When you need to begin preparing to meet the October 31 deadline in time

  5. How continuous monitoring can help you automate audit readiness, and protect your compliance status well beyond initial certification

CMMC compliance preparation can feel like a puzzle with too many mismatched pieces, especially for manufacturers navigating the process for the first time. That’s why Blumira and Alluvionic have joined forces to help make the process less intimidating by walking step-by-step through what CMMC actually assesses, who needs to comply, and what the enforcement deadline really means for your business. You'll learn how to identify whether your organization handles Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), how to get help with an informal gap assessment, and how to approach the process in practical, manageable steps.

Whether you're building your compliance program from scratch or looking to formalize what you've already put in place, this session will give you a clear framework for moving forward. Join Chris Furner, Sydney Wright, and Bobby Padilla to start fitting the pieces of your CMMC plan together, and get the help you need to enter your assessment with confidence.
