Course Overview

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program provides a standard model and process for conducting a conformity assessment of Department of Defense (DoD) suppliers and service providers. Organizations wanting to provide products and services to the DoD will be required to demonstrate their cybersecurity competency and compliance under the CMMC program.

A Certified CMMC Assessor (CCA) applies a rigorous Assessment Process to ensure the relevant security controls have been effectively implemented and that there is evidence that these controls can be sustained.

This course covers identifying the scope of an Assessment, assessing the CMMC Level 2 practices, and using an established process and workflow to enable efficiencies during an Assessment.
