Project Spectrum Webinar Helps Veteran-Owned Businesses Navigate CMMC Compliance

Cybersecurity compliance is no longer optional for businesses working within the Department of Defense (DoD) supply chain. As the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program becomes formally embedded into federal regulations, Veteran-owned businesses pursuing government contracts must be prepared to meet evolving cybersecurity standards.

To help businesses better understand these requirements, Project Spectrum is hosting a free webinar on June 11, 2026, focused on helping companies begin their CMMC compliance journey.

What Businesses Need to Know About CMMC

CMMC establishes baseline cybersecurity requirements for contractors and subcontractors working with the DoD. These standards are designed to safeguard sensitive government information throughout the defense supply chain.

For many small and Veteran-owned businesses, navigating compliance can feel overwhelming, especially without dedicated IT or cybersecurity resources. That’s where Project Spectrum comes in.

Funded by the DoD, Project Spectrum provides free tools, training and resources to help businesses comply with NIST 800-171 controls and prepare for CMMC requirements.

Webinar Topics

During the webinar, attendees will learn:

WHow Project Spectrum can help businesses become compliant with CMMC
How companies can get started with Project Spectrum
What requirements are placed upon applicants
Key information related to CMMC Level 1 compliance

Why This Matters for Veteran-Owned Businesses

As government cybersecurity requirements continue to evolve, maintaining compliance will play a critical role in protecting existing contracts and pursuing future opportunities.

For Veteran-owned businesses seeking to grow within the federal marketplace, understanding CMMC requirements early can provide a competitive advantage while helping avoid costly compliance delays later.

NaVOBA encourages Veteran-owned businesses to take advantage of educational opportunities like this webinar to strengthen their readiness and long-term success in government contracting.
