Скачать или смотреть CMMC Readiness - Shield the Transit: Encrypted Communications

Staying in the Defense Industrial Base means proving—far beyond doubt—that systems and people are ready to protect Controlled Unclassified Information every single day. This playlist walks contractors through practical, battle‑tested actions mapped to CMMC Levels 1, 2, and 3. Each video zooms in on one actionable topic: what the practice looks like in the real world, why the assessor cares, and exactly how to roll it out without grinding operations to a halt. Whether you are a small machine shop handling drawings or a prime integrator managing multi‑domain programs, the series translates dense NIST language into clear tasks, budget hints, and culture‑building tips. Follow the sequence to build a living roadmap; jump around to shore up gaps before an assessment; bookmark episodes for new hires. By the end of the playlist you will have a 360‑degree view of access control, configuration management, incident response, physical protection, and much more—ready for auditors and, more importantly, ready for threats that do not wait for auditors.

Each video one actionable topic—what it is, why assessors care, and how to apply it in the real world with limited resources. You’ll see exactly how to go from “uncertain” to “audit-ready” across every domain: Access Control, Awareness and Training, Configuration Management, Incident Response, Physical Protection, Risk Management, and more.

This isn’t another high-level theory dump. These are tactical moves, grounded in NIST SP 800-171 and mapped directly to CMMC controls.

Each episode shows:
What compliance looks like on paper—and in practice.
How to implement it efficiently in small to medium-sized environments.
What assessors are trained to look for—and how to document it.
Where to find hidden risks, quick wins, or overlooked failures.

By the end of the series, your team will have a concrete, actionable roadmap—not only to pass your CMMC assessment—but to build lasting security maturity that protects contracts, reputations, and national interests.

Each video can be used:
As standalone training for specific controls.
As an onboarding tool for IT, compliance, or leadership.
As a checklist item during self-assessments or pre-audit reviews.
As evidence or internal justification when investing in cyber.

Whether you're preparing for your first Level 1 attestation or deep into Level 3 readiness, this playlist is your step-by-step guide to showing up audit-ready and cyber-resilient.
