The Cloud and CMMC: What You Need to Know

With very few exceptions, cloud services are the backbone of every organization’s IT infrastructure—from ERP and productivity applications like Microsoft Office and Google Workspace, to collaboration and storage platforms.
For organizations pursuing CMMC certification, this reliance on the cloud introduces both opportunity and complexity.
While cloud service providers assume responsibility for satisfying certain NIST SP 800-171 control requirements—sometimes in whole, sometimes in part—understanding where their responsibility ends and yours begins is essential.

This webinar will explain:

  • The CMMC requirements for cloud services.
  • How the shared responsibility model defines “my responsibilities,” “your responsibilities,” and “our shared responsibilities.”
  • Why responsibility can be delegated but accountability cannot—and what that means for Organizations Seeking Certification (OSCs).

Why Attend

  • Clarify your CMMC obligations in the cloud: Understand how using cloud services affects compliance and audit readiness.
  • Demystify shared responsibility: Learn which NIST 800-171 controls are covered by your provider—and which remain yours to implement.
  • Avoid costly compliance gaps: Identify where assumptions about cloud security lead to failed assessments or incomplete SSPs.
  • Strengthen accountability: Discover how to delegate effectively while maintaining the accountability CMMC requires.
  • Build confidence before your assessment: Learn how to verify your cloud provider’s documentation and CRM.

 Who Should Attend

  • Defense contractors and subcontractors managing CUI or FCI within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB).
  • CMMC program managers and compliance officers preparing for Level 1 or Level 2 certification.
  • CIOs, CISOs, and IT leaders overseeing hybrid or cloud-based systems.

What You’ll Learn

  • How CMMC 2.0 applies to cloud environments and what assessors expect.
  • How to use a Customer Responsibility Matrix (CRM) to define and document shared controls.
  • How to validate a provider’s FedRAMP claims and identify compliance gaps.
  • The critical difference between responsibility and accountability in a CMMC context.
