Join Dataprise’s Senior Director of Cybersecurity, Stephen Jones, and Edwards Performance Solutions’ Director of Commercial and Cybersecurity Programs, Brian Hubbard, for an interactive discussion.
“Business risk doesn’t stop at the boundary of your organization. Your vendors present a potential threat in your ability to protect business information; while not all vendors pose equal risk, the impact of a data compromise through a third-party vendor can be just as devastating as a direct compromise.
However, a complete vendor risk assessment can be costly and time consuming. A tailored approach to vendor risk management and mitigation can make your processes more efficient, allowing your business to focus on what it does best.”

Topics that will be covered:
• How third parties introduce risks into your organization and the types of vendor risks that are most critical to monitor
• Building a modernized vendor risk management program and what to expect throughout the process
• Standards, compliance, monitoring, and contingency planning
• Remediation

A Q&A will follow as well. Can’t attend the live event? Register anyway to receive the recording afterward. Check out their event here!

"CMMC 2.0 Myths Busted" Live Dataprise Webinar
2022-02-09 13:30 - 14:30 UTC | Online Event
Tune into Dataprise’s live webinar, “CMMC 2.0 Myths Busted,” on February 9 at 1:30pm EST, presented by Edwards Senior Cybersecurity Consultant and Instructor, Joy Beland.
Beland collaborates with Datatprise’s professionals vCISO, Samuel Bourgeois, and vCISO Maximo Bredfeldt, to bring you an hour long presentation on conceptions about CMMC 2.0 and how it affects your organization.
In November 2021 the DOD announced CMMC 2.0, which introduces many changes and compliance requirement updates for federal contractors. Since the DOD’s codification of CMMC 2.0 in DFARS can take up to 24 months, it’s unsurprising that misinformation around the program abounds.
When it comes to CMMC 2.0, have you wondered:

If this even applies to you since you don’t deal with DOD contracts?
If you should wait to get started only until everything is finalized?
If your compliance with other frameworks makes you CMMC compliant?

If your IT person or department can handle all this on their own?

Join our webinar with Dataprise as we bust the myths surrounding CMMC 2.0 and provide expert insight and guidance on taking actionable next steps. For more details or to register, check out the event page here.
