      <title>TASC/TGIC Training - CMMC Readiness Demystified: What You Actually Need to Do Right Now (08 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;
  &lt;p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Who&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;: Tidewater Association of Service Contractors (TASC) and Tidewater Government Industry Council (TGIC)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What&lt;/strong&gt;: TASC/TGIC Training - CMMC Readiness Demystified: What You Actually Need to Do Right Now&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;As a follow-up to our recent training on CMMC audits and certifications being paused, this session will focus on what attendees need to do to be ready for current requirements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;With the reform review dominating headlines, it's easy to lose sight of the one question that matters most for your business: what do you actually need to do to be ready? This session builds upon the policy play-by-play training in August and goes straight to the practical roadmap — how to determine your required CMMC level, what separates FCI from CUI (and why it changes your entire scope), what a real assessment path looks like, what it costs, and how to keep bidding on contracts while you get there. If you've been waiting for the dust to settle before starting your readiness work, this is the session that tells you where to begin today.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;You'll leave knowing:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;How to determine your required CMMC level and which assessment path applies to you&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;The real difference between FCI and CUI, and how it drives your compliance scope&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;The compliance obligations that are mandatory right now, regardless of reform outcomes&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;What a realistic readiness timeline and budget actually look like&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;The concrete next steps to start (or continue) your path to contract compliance&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;This TASC/TGIC Training will be provided by Greg Tomchick with Valor Cybersecurity. He'll walk attendees through a practical, no-fluff readiness framework - what you need to do, in what order, and how to move forward with confidence no matter how the reform review concludes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family: Tahoma;"&gt;When&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;: Thursday, October 8, 2026, 9:30-10:30am immediately following TGIC&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family: Tahoma;"&gt;Where&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;: Microsoft Teams and In Person QED Systems (&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Registration Required to attend in person at 5700 Ward Avenue Virginia Beach, VA 23455&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>APEX: CMMC Readiness Overview - What Manufacturers Need to Know (15 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;TASC/TGIC courtesy posting of this event does not constitute sponsorship, endorsement, recommendation, or favoring by TASC/TGIC.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;Who: APEX&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
What:&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;CMMC Readiness Overview - What Manufacturers Need to Know&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Department of Defense requires contractors and subcontractors who are handling federal contract information or controlled unclassified information to meet Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements. As enforcement moves forward, manufacturers across the defense supply chain need to understand what's required, when, and how to prepare - before it affects their ability to bid on or retain DoD contracts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join GENEDGE and InterSec for a full overview of CMMC readiness, covering:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Key CMMC terminology and concepts&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;How to determine your required certification level&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;The differences between CMMC Level 1 and Level 2&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;What the readiness journey looks like - from gap analysis to certification&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;The latest updates coming out of the DoD on CMMC rollout and enforcement&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;How GENEDGE can support your CMMC work through MEP grant funding&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This session is designed for manufacturing and technology companies who are early in their CMMC journey and want a clear, practical starting point - not a deep technical dive.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When: October 15, 2026, 9:30am-12:30pm&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Where:&amp;nbsp; 112 Bank Street, Norfolk, VA 23510&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;Who: APEX&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
What: Finding Government Contracting Opportunities&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 23px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Lato, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;In FY25, the U.S. federal government awarded $194.13 billion in contracts to 76,270 small businesses. Total federal contract awards in FY25 totaled $834 billion, an increase of 7.47 over FY24. Nearly a quarter of all federal contracts went to small business, proving that it still pays to do business with the Government. This is a huge opportunity for small firms to grow their business. This class will show you where the Government is spending their money. We will cover these key areas.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 23px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Lato, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;• Total spend for the most recent fiscal year&lt;br&gt;
• Where to find sub-contracting opportunities&lt;br&gt;
• Trends in Government spending&lt;br&gt;
• Competitive Intelligence&lt;br&gt;
• Market research (Data Mining)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
