CMMC Readiness

How to Prepare and Incorporate a Zero Trust Strategy for Your CMMC Scope

REGISTER NOW

Wednesday, October 14, 2026 @ 1:00 PM EST  |  60 Minutes

About this Event

The blanket enforcement of CMMC Level 2 third-party assessments by the Department of War (DoW) in contracts and solicitations are suspended, but prime contractors are still requiring third-party C3PAO assessments – and subcontractors need to be ready.  In this session, Schellman shares direct insights from its C3PAO assessment experience with organizations that are focusing on a zero trust architecture, including what their environments looked like going in, where they were well-positioned, and where gaps emerged. Zscaler's Kumar Selvaraj joins to provide context on how zero trust architecture intersects with CMMC requirements and what contractors using Zscaler's platform should know before heading into an assessment.

If you're a defense contractor operating in a Zscaler environment or evaluating zero trust as part of your compliance strategy, this session offers a practitioner's view of what CMMC certification looks like in practice. 

Key Takeaways

  • What Schellman assessors observed across CMMC Level 2 assessments
  • Where zero trust architecture supports CMMC compliance
  • Common scoping and documentation gaps that affect assessment outcomes
  • Practical steps Zscaler customers can take to arrive at their assessment ready

This webinar is designed for compliance leads, IT security teams, and program managers at defense contractors pursuing or preparing for CMMC Level 2 certification — particularly those operating in Zscaler environments or evaluating zero trust architecture as part of their compliance strategy.
