Amira provides deep insights into the challenges government contractors face when preparing for CMMC certification, emphasizing that it's not just about passing an initial assessment, but maintaining ongoing compliance and understanding the nuanced requirements.
The conversation highlights key challenges such as implementing comprehensive documentation, following rigorous change management procedures, and addressing technical requirements like multifactor authentication. Amira stresses the importance of working with qualified practitioners who truly understand the intricate details of CMMC requirements, rather than simply checking boxes. She also discusses the difference between registered practitioners and certified assessors, and offers practical advice for companies looking to navigate the CMMC certification process effectively.
