Are you betting your CMMC certification on the "Inheritance Illusion"?
Many SaaS providers and Federal Contractors move to AWS GovCloud or Azure Government with a dangerous assumption: "The platform is FedRAMP High authorized, so we inherit the security."
This assumption is the #1 cause of failed mock assessments in 2026.
Join us for a deep-dive case study into GovSoft Solutions Inc., a cloud-native developer that thought they were secure—until auditors found their "fortress" unlocked. We will dissect exactly how they failed two critical controls despite hosting on the industry's most secure cloud infrastructure.
In this session, we will uncover:
- The FIPS Endpoint Trap: Why enabling encryption isn't enough if you aren't hitting the specific `-fips` API endpoints (Control SC.L2-3.13.11).
- The IAM Blindspot: How "Shared Responsibility" creates a gap in Access Control that leaves Root keys exposed (Control AC.L2-3.1.1).
- The Solution: How to build a Customer Responsibility Matrix (CRM) that maps exactly where AWS ends and YOU begin.
Who Should Attend:
- CISOs and CTOs of Federal Contractors (GovCons)
- Cloud Architects & DevOps Engineers
- Compliance Officers navigating CMMC Level 2
