We live in a dangerous digital world. So much so that at least one cybercrime happens every 39 seconds. In fact, cyberattacks have become such a commonplace occurrence that the growing number of threats to gain access to intellectual property and sensitive data represents an increasing danger, not only to the United States, but International Security.
To assess and enhance the cybersecurity posture of the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has issued a new compliance requirement for all government contractors, called the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC).
Commonly targeted due to the high level of personal ID information
Increased phishing scams soliciting at-home workers
The highest average total cost reported in more than 17 years
The 3 Levels of CMMC 2.0
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a new security framework and a significant shift in government contracting. And whether you’re a large or small organization, if you’re one of the 300,000 primary contractors or subcontractors who provide products and services to the DoD – YOU MUST COMPLY. Failure to do so will greatly impact your ability to compete, and more importantly, win defense contracts. If your organization hasn’t begun to lay the groundwork for CMMC certification, now is the time to get started and make cybersecurity your top priority.

{course:2703} Once you pass your exam and achieve CP status, you will move to Level 1 Assessor training. This course is designed to help you deliver informative and consistent assessments for organizations seeking certification (OSCs) against a defined set of controls & best practices within the CMMC ecosystem.
Whether you're an organization seeking certification (OSC), or an assessor who will be doing assessments on behalf of a C3PAO (Certified Third Party Assessor Organization), The C3PAOs are the only bodies that can conduct assessments. The process to become one is lengthy and involved, so get started as an early adopter so you can help secure the nation's supply chain.
All organizations and key roles are currently in a provisional status with CMMCS. Stayed tuned for updates as CMMC releases information.
