4th National Forum on FOCI 2021 | American Conference Institute | 14 September 2021 | Virtual Conference

There Has Never Been a More Critical Time for FOCI and Non-FOCI Companies and Outside Advisors to Attend this Event.
The Defense Counterintelligence Security Agency (DCSA) is heightening its scrutiny and compliance expectations in the wake of significant new, anticipated developments. With so much on the line, don’t miss key takeaways on NISPOM, NID Exceptions, Mitigation, CMMC, AOPs — and the interplay with FIRRMA and CFIUS.

• Join expert speaking faculty that includes government regulators and industry leaders.
• Engage in lively discussion and debate with thought leaders on up-to-the-minute trends and hot-button issues.
