Snap Tech IT CEO, Karl Bickmore Discusses CMMC 2.0 Level 1 Self-Assessment Breakdown in Upcoming Webinar: Dec. 7th at 2 p.m. ET
Tempe, Ariz., December 1, 2021 – “Recent news of sweeping changes to the CMMC certification program are leaving many questions unanswered, particularly when it comes to the starting point, Level 1 self-assessments. I’m eager to answer questions on the changes at this stage and provide insights into where you can rest easy and what you need to consider going forward with certification.”- Karl Bickmore, CEO, Snap Tech IT
CMMC 2.0 brings big changes & sighs of relief to many Defense Industrial Base contractors with the ability to conduct self-assessments for Level 1 and a subset of Level 2. While this relieves a heavy burden in many aspects, there’s a flipside to these changes to bear in mind as you continue down the path to certification. Essential changes to self-assessments provide options for contractors, but it’s important to consider what the changes to these assessments really mean to your business. And, with many factors yet to be determined, how do DoD contractors cut through the clutter when it comes to self-assessments and continue the CMMC journey?
Join Snap Tech IT’s CMMC expert, Karl Bickmore, CEO, and Ted Hulsy, for a 30-minute conversation on what has changed & what hasn’t with self-assessments under Level 1 where you’ll learn:
- What a self-assessment looks like under CMMC 2.0
- Options for DoD contractors seeking to complete a self-assessment for Level 1
- Information you’ll need to meet the self-assessment requirement
- Security frameworks DoD contractors will measure against with a self-assessment
- Practical approaches to beginning a self-assessment
This isn’t the time to let your guard down with security compliance. After all, cybersecurity isn’t just an IT challenge, it’s a challenge for all businesses. Get ready with the education you need to achieve compliance and protect critical supply chain data simultaneously.

About CMMC
The Department is committed to working with the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) sector to enhance the protection of controlled unclassified information (CUI) within the supply chain.
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework takes various cybersecurity standards and best practices and maps these controls and processes across several maturity levels that range from basic cyber hygiene to advanced.
For a given CMMC level, the associated practices, and processes, when implemented, will reduce risk against a specific set of cyber threats. The CMMC effort builds upon the existing regulation (DFARS 252.204-7012) by adding a verification component for cybersecurity requirements.
