As an RPO, Jefferson Wells offers comprehensive compliance solutions including:

- Audit preparation and guidance
- Ongoing compliance monitoring
To help organizations understand and prepare for these new requirements, Jefferson Wells will host a complimentary webinar, “Cybersecurity Regulations & Standards: Raising the Bar” on February 25, 2025, at 11:00 am CST. The 60-minute session will feature Stephen Head and Melissa Phillips, Jefferson Wells’ Cybersecurity Technical Manager, discussing critical updates to cybersecurity standards, including CMMC Final Rule implementation and practical strategies for compliance.
