CMMC Is on Pause. Your Cybersecurity Requirements Aren’t.
What shipbuilders, defense manufacturers, and their supply chain partners should be doing now to strengthen cybersecurity, protect CUI, and prepare for what comes next.
Lunch & Learn | Thursday, September 23 | 11:30AM–1:30PM
CMMC may be on pause, but cybersecurity requirements aren’t.
For shipbuilders, defense manufacturers, subcontractors, suppliers, and organizations supporting the DoD supply chain, changing CMMC timelines don’t mean cybersecurity responsibilities can wait.
Join Jessica Golle, Chief Revenue Officer at Charles IT, and Larry Robertson, General Manager at Charles IT, for a practical Lunch & Learn covering where CMMC stands today, what the current pause means, and what organizations across the defense and maritime supply chain should be doing now.
We’ll break down what has changed, what hasn’t, and where you should focus your efforts to strengthen your cybersecurity posture and prepare for what comes next.
What We’ll Cover
- Where CMMC stands today and what the current pause means
- What cybersecurity and contract requirements aren’t going away
- Why protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) remains critical
- Common cybersecurity and compliance gaps across the defense supply chain
- Practical steps you can take to improve cybersecurity readiness now
- How to prepare for CMMC without waiting for another deadline
Perfect for shipbuilders, shipyards, defense manufacturers, subcontractors, suppliers, engineering firms, and other organizations that work directly or indirectly with the Department of Defense.
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of where your organization should be focusing now, and how to keep moving forward while CMMC continues to evolve.

CMMC May Be Paused. Cybersecurity Isn’t.
Waiting for CMMC to move forward doesn’t mean your organization should stand still.
If you handle CUI, support a DoD contract, or operate anywhere within the defense supply chain, protecting sensitive information and maintaining a strong cybersecurity foundation still matter—regardless of when the next CMMC milestone arrives.
During this Lunch & Learn, Jessica Golle will break down the current CMMC landscape and what organizations should be paying attention to now. Larry Robertson will take the conversation beyond compliance, focusing on protecting CUI, identifying common security gaps, and strengthening your overall cybersecurity posture.
The goal isn’t to overcomplicate CMMC preparation. It’s to understand what matters, address the gaps you can address today, and build a stronger foundation for whatever comes next.
Thursday, September 23 | 11:30AM–1:30PM
