Join us for our West Coast Government Contracts Seminar. For your convenience, we are pleased to offer this seminar on two separate occasions—on June 11th in Crowell’s San Francisco office, and on June 12th at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara.  We hope that you can make one (or both) of these events.

Join us for 2 days of lively discussion on FCA enforcement including the ramifications of two Supreme Court decisions and the evolution of pandemic, cybersecurity, and telehealth fraud.

The Department of Defense (DOD) has released the highly anticipated proposed rule for the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Program (CMMC). CMMC is a unified assessment model released by the DoD in response to the growing threat of cyberattacks and data theft from its supply chain vendors. As proposed, this program requires every Federal contractor that handles DoD sensitive data to comply with certain cybersecurity controls. CMMC will bring greater scrutiny to contractors’ cybersecurity compliance and greater risks associated with failure to comply. To achieve certification, you’re required to prove that your organization can meet a myriad of security control obligations, a process that can be daunting if you’re not familiar with the policies, procedures, and practices that may be required when the program is finalized.
