Description
"This course contains the use of artificial intelligence."
Are you a defense contractor, subcontractor, or IT professional who needs to understand and achieve CMMC certification? This comprehensive course takes you from zero to assessment-ready by walking you through every aspect of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 framework.
The CMMC program is now a mandatory requirement for organizations in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) that handle Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Whether you need Level 1 self-assessment or Level 2 third-party certification, this course gives you the knowledge and practical tools to get there.
What You Will Learn
The regulatory foundation behind CMMC, including DFARS 252.204-7012 and the evolution from self-attestation to the current framework. You will understand the three CMMC levels, what each requires, and how to determine which level applies to your contracts.
The course provides a complete overview of NIST 800-171's 14 requirement families and 110 security controls, explaining how they map to CMMC Level 2. You will learn about the key players in the CMMC ecosystem including the Cyber AB, C3PAOs, DIBCAC, and certified assessors.
You will master essential compliance documents such as the System Security Plan (SSP), Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M), scoping boundaries, and Organization-Defined Parameters (ODPs).
For practical implementation, the course walks you through Level 1 certification with the 17 FAR practices, followed by a deep dive into Level 2 self-assessment covering gap analysis, SPRS scoring, POA&M management, evidence collection, and continuous monitoring.
The course also prepares you for third-party certification by explaining the C3PAO assessment process and how self-assessment work translates to assessment readiness.
By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently navigate the CMMC certification process, avoid common mistakes that delay certification, and build an ongoing compliance roadmap for your organization.
This course includes 58 lectures across 10 modules, with downloadable resource documents including sample SSPs, POA&M templates, assessment checklists, and reference guides.
