CMMC Certified CMMC Professional (CCP) 2.0 COURSE OVERVIEW The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), managed by The Cyber AB (formerly known as the CMMC Accreditation Body or the CMMC-AB), is a program through which an organization's cybersecurity program maturity is measured by its initial and ongoing compliance with applicable cybersecurity practices, as well as their integration of corresponding policies and plans into their overall business operations. Once rule-making has concluded and CMMC 2.0 has been implemented, all organizations providing products or services to the United States Department of Defense (DoD) must comply with the requirements of their applicable CMMC Level. This course prepares students for the Certified CMMC Professional (CCP) certification, which authorizes the holder to use The Cyber AB Certified CMMC Professional logo, to participate as an Assessment Team Member under the supervision of a Lead Assessor, and to be listed in the CMMC Marketplace. The CCP certification is also a prerequisite for the Certified CMMC Assessor (CCA) certification. WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS COURSE?
