CMMC Working Sessions

Not a lecture hall. A working room for your compliance journey.

CMMC at Sea is built for teams who are already in the work: scoping systems, finding CUI, organizing evidence, writing SSPs, preparing for assessment, and figuring out what compliance actually looks like day to day.

You’ll be in a smaller, more direct environment with C3PAOs, contractors, consultants, MSPs, and compliance leaders who understand the real pressure of getting this right.

Bring your questions. Compare approaches. See how others are managing the same work.
What You’ll Work Through

Scope the environment

Talk through CUI, enclaves, SaaS tools, MSP involvement, boundaries, and where teams often over-scope or miss risk.

Build usable documentation

Work through SSPs, policies, procedures, evidence, and the difference between documentation that exists and documentation that holds up.

Prepare for assessment

Understand what assessors look for, how interviews and testing feel in practice, and how to close gaps before the assessment starts.

Use tools to manage the journey

See how GRC platforms, automation, and repeatable workflows can help teams track work, manage evidence, and stay ready over time.
