Engineering for Verification: The Technical Realities of Passing CMMC (D01b)
As CMMC shifts from planning to enforcement, contractors are learning that passing an assessment requires more than implementing controls. It requires systems and processes engineered for verifiability. This session outlines technical approaches that enable continuous validation, including Zero Trust patterns, automated evidence collection and configuration practices aligned to NIST 800 171. Drawing from real deployments across the Defense Industrial Base, attendees will see how to design environments that remain assessment ready over time rather than preparing in short, reactive sprints.
