In this special edition of the Protiviti Legal Perspectives podcast series, we delve into the complexities of new data protection and cybersecurity government regulations in the defense industry with Alexander W. Major, Partner, McCarter & English, and Perry Keating, President of Protiviti Government Services. The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) was recently promulgated, unearthing the intricacies behind protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), and is poised to have rippling effects across the government and commercial contracting. Join us as we discuss:
- What does this mean for your compliance program for the future?
- Legal repercussions – and the potential of losing government contracts – if found non-compliant.
- The confusion surrounding CUI and its application challenges across government agencies.
- Dramatic reduction in notification regulations in the event of a data breach involving government data.
