Get Started Now!

00:01

prepping for C MMC now. So let's get started now.

00:07

Are learning objectives in this final section will be

00:13

Are you preparing now for C MMC?

00:16

What can I really do now? Especially since version one is out.

00:22

Queer. Any known poems

00:26

be organized. So

00:29

prepare now.

00:31

See the lock. Is that secure? Are you really secure?

00:37

Don't rely just on yourself.

00:40

Go out for help on it.

00:42

Have talks, workshops, your managed services provider process or whatever come in and help you make sure that that check

00:52

is on every single process

00:56

with that

00:57

and make sure that everything is walked in the books.

01:02

So what can you do now? The first thing

01:06

that I can't impress

01:08

more than enough times is clear. All the poems.

01:12

If there is one there that is going to take some time. That's why you should do it now. Look at everything now. Get help now because if there's going to be one sticking point that you may run across that you don't wanna have to tell

01:30

the CEO or board or whatever.

01:33

We had a poem that took us 69 months to clear.

01:38

Well, if you start now this

01:41

you'll be able to have that queer by the time hopefully, sometime in that winter period that that's certification for you may be required

01:52

and again, was that Prepare the sea MMC pre assessment.

01:57

So the thing is 0.7 draft is out now, and version one's coming out shortly.

02:04

So 801 71 is not going to change.

02:07

So look at 801 71. And how does your self assessment look? Have someone else with you on that self assessment to really go over it, Maybe again, with a fine tooth comb to make sure

02:23

that you're following that. Because, as you can see, as we talked about

02:29

most of the controls 801 71 addresses

02:34

and again, I can't

02:38

reiterate enough resolve all your poems.

02:43

This is one thing that you know, having someone come in, help you on the pre assessment, you getting all that. But remember, someone's helping you on the pre assessment. They may open up a poem that you don't see,

02:58

and that could be hold you up in your assessment to get certified

03:05

and then the last one. That sounds simple, and you feel you may be organized for a C MMC assessment,

03:15

but probably most of you. Most of the contractors have never gone through an assessment toe where someone's coming in

03:24

and holding you tight toe what you say not just coming and seeing what you're doing. But saying that you have to follow this.

03:35

This is the way it's supposed to be done,

03:38

so make sure you're organized for the policies and procedures are in place. The management's in place, and as you get into the higher levels of the sensitive information, make sure that the upper level management everybody's on board all those

03:57

trees called trees

03:59

reporting trees are in place and all the reviews and everything are in place so that that person comes in just like I did with the I. R. S. I brought my box, I put it down. I had my spread sheet.

04:14

They could Dio and Walcott a couple months and see that Yes, I followed the procedures according to what the i. R s set.

04:20

Now this is according to what CMM see the D. O. D. Says different, yes, but similar and organization

04:30

prepare yourself for the sea MMC.

04:35

So was review one more time. It's a different. Look, I'm going to go over the same things. But I think this is so important that you prepare for the pre assessment

04:47

reach outside. Whether it's the workshops,

04:51

consultant Manny, service providers, someone who is trained

04:58

in the sea MMC to help you

05:01

process.

05:02

Make sure number two you cleared all your poems

05:08

and three organize assessment materials.

05:13

Because if you have everything organized, when that assessor comes in,

05:18

everything will be there for him. And you aren't going to be running around looking for that policy. Oh, someone had it because they were updating it. Make sure everything is there for them. That you have that checklist done.

05:32

And then go and prepare for the assessment

05:38

so that our f p that denotes the level you're at You are ready for it.
