CMMC Certification: A National Security and Compliance Mandate

• The Defense Supply Chain (DSC) is vulnerable to cyber threats, with hundreds of billions of dollars worth of sensitive information already compromised. This undermines U.S. military capabilities and increases national security risks.
• To counter these threats, the Department of Defense (DoD) implemented the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program, which requires over 300,000 contractors to achieve compliance. Certification is crucial for contract eligibility and legal compliance.
• Organizations that certify early gain a strategic advantage. They are prioritized by prime contractors, recognized as trusted industry leaders, and contribute to enhanced supply chain resilience, protecting national security and advancing the DoD's mission.

Building CMMC Expertise: CCP Training

• NUARI’s Certified CMMC Professional (CCP) 3-day training course is approved by The Cyber AB’s, Cybersecurity Assessor and Instructor Certification Organization (CAICO), the official accreditation body and sole authorized non-governmental partner of the Department of Defense for overseeing the CMMC conformance regime.
• The program introduces participants to CMMC levels, security domains, and assessment objectives, ensuring a structured understanding of compliance and assessment requirements. Participants develop the expertise needed to assist Organizations Seeking Certification (OSC) and collaborate with Authorized CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organizations (C3PAO).
• Instruction prepares individuals for the CCP exam while equipping them with the skills necessary to support organizations in achieving and maintaining compliance with the framework. The training also serves as a critical step for those pursuing Certified CMMC Assessor (CCA) status, reinforcing a pathway for professionals to strengthen cybersecurity resilience across the defense industrial base.
