Join us Wednesday, Jan. 22, at 11a PT / 2p ET
Join us for an insightful discussion introducing SRAI’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) mGuide, designed specifically for research administrators. As the need to protect sensitive information in federally funded research grows, understanding CMMC requirements is essential. Research administrators play a crucial role in supporting an institution’s compliance with cybersecurity standards, ensuring adherence to evolving federal regulations.
During this Coffee Talk, panelists will give a brief overview of the essentials of CMMC, including differentiating between FCI and CUI, understanding NIST 800-171 and DFARS requirements, and identifying key responsibilities. We’ll also examine the unique position of research administrators in supporting compliance efforts, ensuring effective communication across institutional teams, and mitigating risks of noncompliance. This talk will help provide you with the tools and insights to navigate CMMC requirements confidently and contribute meaningfully to your institution’s cybersecurity goals.
