In this episode of the CMMC Compliance Guide Podcast, Stacey and Austin from Justice IT Consulting walk through the top 12 essentials every contractor needs to achieve CMMC Level 2 compliance especially small and mid-sized defense manufacturers.
You’ll learn how to start compliance the right way with a formal gap assessment, define and shrink your CUI scope, and build a System Security Plan (SSP) that maps to all 110 NIST 800-171 controls.
