DAY TWO 9:00 - 10:00 AM MAIN SESSION ONE

PULLING BACK THE CURTAIN – INVITING A C3PAO AND DIBCAC TO COME ON IN

When your defense contracts fall in the category of a critical program or high value asset, you expect DIBCAC to come knocking on your door, asking to look behind the curtain and assess your security posture. It’s not if, but when.

At Marvin Engineering, the decision to pivot to JSVA instead of a DIBCAC assessment meant more time, money and resources. Many questions were hard to find answers to, like: What are the differences between a DIBCAC assessment and a C3PAO assessment and how do you plan and prepare for both? How do you secure the support of the stakeholders? And how much control do you really have over the results?

Matt Reynolds, CIO is willing to pull back the curtains, sharing the wins (and hangover remedies) leveraged by his team in the wake of their JVSA in this engaging session with Joy Beland, CCA and Caleb Leidy, CCA and former DIBCAC assessor. Spoiler alert: The curtain stays open long after DIBCAC goes home.
