As the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program transitions from its early rollout phase to full enforcement, the role of Certified Third-Party Assessment Organizations (C3PAOs) is under increasing scrutiny. Governance expectations are shifting, assessor variability remains a challenge, and contractors face growing pressure to prepare for consistent, fair, and predictable assessments.

The webinar "From Chaos to Clarity: Your Guide to Understanding and Identifying CUI" focused on controlled unclassified information (CUI) and its importance for government contractors. Megan Kennett, from Neosystems, hosted the session, which featured experts Reagan Edens, Jim Goebel, and David Carlino. The panel discussed the basics of CUI, including its definition, types, and the lifecycle approach to managing it. They emphasized the need for contractors to understand their contractual obligations and the authorized flow of CUI.
