CMMC Rule 48 Webinar: What Contractors Need to Know Now

CMMC Rule 48 Webinar: What Contractors Need to Know Now

A candid conversation with a certified C3PAO on how to survive—and succeed—in the new assessment era

If you’re a defense contractor preparing for CMMC Level 2 certification, you’re not alone—and you’re probably asking the same questions thousands of others are asking too.

What exactly does Rule 48 change? How ready is ready enough? And with limited C3PAOs available, what happens if your assessment window closes before you’re certified?

We get it. The rollout of CMMC under Rule 48 is creating confusion, urgency, and a fair amount of panic. Which is why we’re cutting through the noise.

Cyber Defense Advisors (CDA) is teaming up with Insight Assurance—a certified C3PAO—to get straight answers from someone who’s been in the assessment trenches. Join us for an honest, detailed conversation about what Rule 48 really means for you, how C3PAOs are thinking about readiness, and what makes a successful (or failed) assessment.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

  • What Rule 48 actually requires (and where contractors are still getting it wrong)
  • How C3PAOs evaluate readiness — the signals assessors look for on day one
  • Where most organizations struggle — and how to avoid those traps
  • What AI and automation mean for future assessments
  • How to avoid delays and backlogs as demand rises
  • How to protect your organization—legally and reputationally

Plus: candid Q&A with our guest speaker so you can get your own questions answered live.
