In this informative webinar, Michael Dempsey (CEO, CISEVE), Tobias Musser (Co-CEO, MNS Group), and Brian Hubbard (President, Evolved Cyber, LLC) unpacked the latest updates to 48 CFR; what’s new, what changed from pre-publication to post-publication, and how contractors can turn CMMC into a competitive advantage.

## Key takeaways (quick read)

- **What changed:** The final publication of 48 CFR clarifies expectations around CMMC levels, assessment pathways, and how contractors should evidence compliance.
- **Why it matters:** Both prime contractors and subcontractors face tighter requirements regarding the handling of CUI, SPRS scoring, and readiness for formal assessments.
- **How to prepare:** Treat CMMC as a continuous program, tighten policies, map CUI, validate SPRS inputs, and rehearse the 320-question assessment flow so you’re not learning under pressure.
- **Question and answers**: Hear some of the questions asked by attendees on costs of assessments, timeline to certification, and more.
