Surviving the CMMC Assessment: Mock Audits, Interview Traps, and Practical Tips - Joy Beland

Описание: Is your organization actually ready for a CMMC Level 2 assessment?

In this highly practical session from CMMC-PNW 2025, Joy Beland (Summit 7) breaks down exactly how to prepare for your CMMC assessment day. Drawing from her experience helping Summit 7 become one of the first CMMC Level 2 certified organizations, Joy explains the critical difference between a "Gap Assessment," a "Mock Assessment" (where you get zero feedback), and a true "Prep Assessment."

In this video, you will learn:

The "Mock" Assessment Trap: Why a formal C3PAO mock assessment allows no feedback or consulting, and why you might want a "Prep Assessment" instead.

The CAP Document: Why the 29-page CMMC Assessment Process (CAP) guide is your "consumer protection" document and why you must read it.

Interview Survival Guide: How to coach your technical team to "answer only what is asked" and avoid talking themselves into a failure.

Screen Sharing Etiquette: The golden rule of screen sharing during an audit (and a horror story of what happens when you break it).

The SSP is King: Why the System Security Plan (Control 3.12.4) is the only control that is strictly pass/fail—if your SSP isn't perfect, you don't start.

Evidence Management: A brilliant tip for using browser tabs to organize your evidence for assessors.
