Secure Twin Technology and CMMC: How Manufacturers Protect Operations and Win Contracts

Recorded April 2026With Strategic Value Plus

Most manufacturers chasing CMMC compliance focus on IT. The real gap is on the factory floor, where legacy PLCs and OT systems cannot run MFA, cannot run agents, and cannot be ripped out. That gap is exactly where assessors look, and where Affirming Officials take on False Claims Act exposure if it is not addressed.

In this webinar with Trout's partner Strategic Value Plus, Marc walks through how Secure Twin Technology helps manufacturers close that gap, meet CMMC Level 2, and protect both their contracts and their operations, without disrupting production.

What you will learn

  • Where the CMMC Level 2 gap really sits on a plant floor, and which controls assessors check against the OT estate
  • Why legacy PLCs and HMIs cannot run MFA or agents, and how a Secure Twin puts those controls in front of them instead
  • What Affirming Officials sign, and the False Claims Act exposure when the factory floor is out of scope on paper only
  • How to reach CMMC Level 2 on the OT side without stopping production or replacing equipment
  • How the compliance work protects the operation itself, not just the contract
