This program facilitates six(6) brief (20 minutes) meetings between attendees and a diverse array of vendors, including Registered Provider Organizations (RPOs), Certified Third-Party Assessor Organizations (C3PAOs), and Licensed Training Providers (LTPs).
Each encounter is designed to be short yet substantive, enabling you to quickly identify potential vendors that align with your specific compliance needs. Perfect for any entity looking to efficiently evaluate their options and advance their CMMC journey.
Registration Rebate Program
Whether you need a trained Service Provider with expert advice to help you prepare, a mock assessment to test readiness, or a C3PAO to deliver an assessment, the Express Connect Program can help.
Express Connect
Take a break from the conference and meet with up to six(6) service providers to get to know them in a session that lasts up to 30 minutes. Each completed session will result in a $100 rebate to your conference registration fee (allow 30 days for processing).
Readiness Mistakes Can be Costly
Reports of contractors failing to understand what "compliant" and "readiness" mean are already pervasive. The Express Connect program can help you differentiate in what may seem like a sea of trained choices to find a great head start in building the vendor relationship needed to avoid costly mistakes.
Types of Vendors*
- RPO - Registered Provider Organizations are listed on the CyberAB website and are required to have certified staff members to help you prepare for an assessment.
- C3PAO - CMMC 3rd Party Assessement Organizations must be staffed with CCPs and CCAs and are empowered to provide certification assessments. All are trained, but no two are alike. Find the C3PAO with the experience to match your organization.
- GRC Providers - Organizing the detail needed for a successful CMMC certification can be overwhelming. Finding a tool to match your needs for efficiency can be challenging.
- Mission Critical MSPs and MSSPs - Delivering a secure, compliant environment for small and medium-sized businesses often means using a service provider. Not all are created equal. Use Express Connect to compare service offerings and ensure that that your service provider will affordably deliver the documentation and artifacts you need to pass a CMMC assessment.
- Secure Cloud Providers - CSPs must be FedRAMP Moderate or equivalent. Offerings can vary greatly with respect to ease of use and the number of controls delivered through a Shared Responsibility model.
