LinkedInCMMC 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.
Talk through CUI, enclaves, SaaS tools, MSP involvement, boundaries, and where teams often over-scope or miss risk.
Work through SSPs, policies, procedures, evidence, and the difference between documentation that exists and documentation that holds up.
Understand what assessors look for, how interviews and testing feel in practice, and how to close gaps before the assessment starts.
See how GRC platforms, automation, and repeatable workflows can help teams track work, manage evidence, and stay ready over time.
Our 2027 speaker lineup is still growing, with additional practitioners, assessors, cybersecurity leaders, and Defense Industrial Base experts being confirmed along the way.
