CMMC Certified Professional (CCP) Self-study with PECB Exam 2 Attempts Included. – New Course Offer

CMMC Certified Professional (CCP) is a baseline course for anyone looking to build a foundation of CMMC knowledge.

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program, managed by The Cyber AB (formerly known as the CMMC Accreditation Body or the CMMC-AB), is designed to validate defense contractors’ compliance with the cybersecurity practices required by their contracts. Once rulemaking has concluded and CMMC 2.0 has been fully implemented, all organizations providing products or services to the United States Department of Defense (DoD) must comply with the requirements of their applicable CMMC Level.
The CMMC program is poised to explode within the next year, and many new consultants and assessors will be necessary to meet the needs of the program.
A CCP class will get you up to speed on what the CMMC Assessment program entails. Plus, CCP training will position you not only to help companies prepare for their Assessments, but also get you started on the assessor track if you want to start a new phase of your cybersecurity career.

Audience:

• Individuals pursuing formal CMMC certifications (CCP, CCA, or CCI)
• Employees in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB)
• Compliance officers and staff
• Prospective CMMC consultants
• Anyone looking to build a foundation of knowledge and skills around the new CMMC requirements

Course Objectives:

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 you to identify threats to cybersecurity and privacy within an IT ecosystem and implement appropriate countermeasures.

You will:

• Identify the threats to the Defense Supply Chain and the established regulations and standards for managing the risk.
• Identify the sensitive information that needs to be protected within the Defense Supply Chain and how to manage it.
• Describe how the CMMC Model ensures compliance with federal acquisitions regulations.
• Identify responsibilities of the CMMC Certified Professional, including appropriate ethical behavior.
• Establish the Certification and Assessment scope boundaries for evaluating the systems that protect regulated information.
• Prepare the OSA/OSC for an Assessment by evaluating readiness.
• Use the CMMC Assessment Guides to determine and assess the Evidence for practices.

Certification Exam Preparation:

This course is a prerequisite for the CMMC Certified Professional program, and it prepares students for the CMMC Certified Professional (CCP) certification exam.

Students might consider taking this course to learn how to perform CMMC certification readiness checks within their own organization, or as a consultant to Organizations Seeking Assessment (OSAs) or Organizations Seeking Certification (OSCs).

The CCP certification is also a required step toward becoming a CMMC Certified Assessor (CCA), so students might take this course to begin down the path toward becoming an assessor.

Prerequisites:

To ensure your success in this course, you should have some foundational education or experience in cybersecurity. The Cyber AB has established prerequisites for those who wish to apply for CCP certification, such as:

• College degree in a cyber or information technical field with 2+ years of experience; or
• 2+ years of equivalent experience (including military) in a cyber, information technology, or assessment field.
