CMMC100 - Certified CMMC Professional
Course Description
The Department of Defense (DoD) of the United States is taking action to secure critical data that companies receive or create in the performance of DoD contracts. Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) is highly sought by our adversaries to steal sensitive US defense-related technical information. This allows them to match and potentially defeat our warfighting capabilities at pennies on the dollar. Hundreds of billions of dollars of CUI are exfiltrated each year.
The defense industrial base comprises hundreds of thousands of companies that now must meet current cybersecurity and compliance requirements and become compliant with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) to continue the ability to work on DoD contracts. In 2020, DoD established the CMMC Accreditation Body to develop and manage the training and certification ecosystem. CMMC certification requires the industry to satisfy all CUI security requirements and controls including all CMMC practices and assessment objectives. An independent CMMC Third-Party Assessor Organization (C3PAO) must assess and certify compliance. Assessment teams consist of Certified CMMC Assessors (CCA) and Certified CMMC Professionals (CCP). The CMMC program is nearing a voluntary certification period and may create a significant competitive advantage for early adopters.
