In this session, we’ll give a candid look at how Organizations Seeking Certification (OSCs) commonly derail their CMMC Level 2 assessment. Drawing on front-line C3PAO experiences, we’ll unpack recurring pitfalls, improper or incomplete documentation, shaky scoping and boundary definitions, blind spots in CUI data flows, “paper-only” policies that diverge from practice, weak evidence hygiene, and overreliance on inherited controls or third-party vendors.
Attendees will take away proven best practices to avoid these traps and map a realistic path to success. The session also decodes the newly published 48 CFR and its implications as the CMMC program rolls out. You’ll leave with practical readiness tools, a concise checklist to validate your SSP and artifacts, and steps to prevent last-mile surprises.
