Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Professional - Training & Certification

Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Training

Organizations within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) and federal supply chain are facing growing cybersecurity compliance requirements as cyber threats continue to evolve. The Certified CMMC Professional Training Course is designed to help professionals develop a comprehensive understanding of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework, its requirements, and the broader CMMC ecosystem.

This training course provides participants with the knowledge needed to understand CMMC 2.0 levels, domains, practices, and assessment processes while exploring how CMMC aligns with regulatory and cybersecurity frameworks such as FAR 52.204-21, DFARS 252.204-7012, and NIST SP 800-171.

Participants will gain practical insight into CMMC implementation, high-level scoping, assessment preparation, and cybersecurity governance concepts. The course also serves as a foundational pathway for professionals seeking to become part of the CMMC ecosystem, including individuals pursuing Certified CMMC Assessor credentials.

Upon successful completion of the training course and examination, participants can apply for the “Certified CMMC Professional” credential.
