CMMC NIST Course

Course 2074

Duration: 4 days
Language: English
Level: Intermediate

Recent sweeping updates to the U.S. Department of Defense Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements have left the consultants, contractors, and the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) questioning where this leaves us and how to proceed. This course is intended to address the questions of what CMMC 2.0 is all about, how certification will work under the new model, the SP 800-171 requirements that must be satisfied and how to meet them, and what this means for DoD contracting organizations.

These exact 800-171 requirements cover all Non-Federal Organizations (NFOs) that handle U.S. Federal Government controlled unclassified information. This course will also feature self-attestation guidance and will help organizations meet the external 3rd party assessments that will still be required for a subset of businesses handling protected U.S. Federal Government information.

CMMC 2.0 and NIST SP 800-171 Training FAQs

Organizations Seeking Approval (OSC) personnel, including:

System development life cycle personnel (e.g., program managers, mission/business owners, information owners/stewards, system designers and developers, system/security engineers, and systems integrators).
Personnel with system security or risk management and oversight responsibilities (e.g., chief information officers, chief information security officers, system owners, information system security managers).
Security assessment and monitoring personnel (e.g., auditors, system evaluators, assessors, verifiers/validators, analysts).
Third parties providing CMMC 2.0 implementation and assessment support services.

No. C3PAOs will be needed to assess the OSCs requiring a Level 2 Assessment. Keep in mind that Level 2 is bifurcated, and some OSCs will be able to self-attest.

No, NIST is the What, and CMMC is the How. They are both needed and play an integral role in the new cyber security mandate.

Yes, this will lay a great foundation prior to attending Course 2072, Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Training Course, and sitting for the CCP Certification exam.
