Join us on October 9 for a one-hour webinar on the long-awaited Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) rule implementing the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program, which will become applicable to defense contracts and subcontracts starting November 10, 2025. This session will provide practical tips for defense contractors and subcontractors on how to navigate CMMC Program requirements, along with key considerations from an enforcement perspective.

Join WilmerHale lawyers as they discuss major areas of continuity and change, including:.

• the timeline for implementation and phased rollout;
• the three-tiered CMMC verification system and what each level requires;
• practical steps to prepare, including self-assessments, updating Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) scores and managing external service providers; and
• the evolution of cybersecurity standards and enforcement efforts, including recent enforcement actions under the False Claims Act that offer lessons for contractors and subcontractors.

During the webinar, participants will have the opportunity to contribute questions online. This program is being prepared with the intention to offer CLE credit for attendees who join the live presentation.

WilmerHale has been accredited by the New York State and California State Continuing Legal Education Boards as a provider of continuing legal education. This program is being planned with the intention to offer CLE credit in California and non-transitional credit in New York. This program, therefore, is being planned with the intention to offer CLE credit for experienced New York attorneys only. Attendees of this program may be able to claim England & Wales CPD. WilmerHale has been approved as a Colorado Certified Provider, as recognized by the Colorado Supreme Court Continuing Legal and Judicial Education Committee. We will apply for Colorado CLE (after the program) if requested. The type and amount of credit awarded will be determined solely by the Colorado Supreme Court. New Jersey grants reciprocal credit for programs that are approved in New York. We can also issue Connecticut credit. All attendees, regardless of jurisdiction, will receive a uniform certificate of attendance that shows the states in which the program was approved. Attendees who need credit in another jurisdiction can use the uniform certificate of attendance to self-apply. CLE credit is not available for on-demand webinar recordings.
