CMMC Update 2026-Ask the Lead Assessor What Has Changed, What Hasn't, and What Contractors Should Be Doing Right Now

Description

With the recent pause in certain assessment activities raising questions across the Defense Industrial Base, many organizations are unsure about timelines, expectations, and whether their current compliance efforts are still on track. 

Join DataSure24, Insyte Consulting, and a CMMC Lead Assessor for a candid discussion on the current state of CMMC, what the assessment pause means for contractors, lessons learned from readiness and assessment activities, common compliance gaps being identified, and the actions organizations should be taking now to stay prepared. 

We'll separate fact from speculation, discuss what organizations can realistically expect moving forward, and provide practical guidance for maintaining momentum while the program continues to mature. 

Bring your questions. We'll dedicate significant time to live Q&A, so attendees can hear directly from a Lead Assessor and learn about real-world assessment expectations, evidence requirements, and readiness best practices.
