The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), managed by the CMMC Accreditation Body (CMMC-AB), is a program through which an organization's cybersecurity program is measured by their initial and ongoing compliance with applicable cybersecurity practices as well as their integration of corresponding policies and plans into their overall business operations. By Fiscal Year 2026, all organizations providing products or services to the US DoD must obtain at least a Maturity Level 1 certification under this program.
This course prepares students for the CMMC-AB Certified Professional (CP) certification, which authorizes the holder to use the CMMC-AB Certified Professional logo, to participate as an assessment team member under the supervision of a Certified Assessor, and to be listed in the CMMC-AB Marketplace. The CP certification is also prerequisite for the other certifications (CA-1, CA-3, and CA-5).
In this course, you will learn about the CMMC model, framework, context, and application within the DoD, as well as the expectations and requirements imposed upon organizations that do business with the DoD. It will also help students to identify threats to cybersecurity and privacy within an IoT ecosystem and implement appropriate countermeasures.

The CP is a “gateway” certification and proves out your knowledge of CMMC - not just cybersecurity.
While CMMC is based on much of NIST 800-171, there are additional practices and content for developing processes that are institutionalized. So all Certified Assessor candidates will need to first become CPs.
