Introduction:

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) represents a structured framework for protecting sensitive information within supply chains through progressively defined maturity levels and control practices. It establishes a unified model that integrates governance, risk management, and security practices across organizations handling controlled information. This training program covers the foundational frameworks, concepts, and structural elements of the CMMC model, including maturity levels, domains, and practices. It outlines ecosystem structures, assessment models, and ethical frameworks that organize CMMC implementation within institutional environments.

Program Objectives:

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

• Analyze the fundamental concepts, definitions, and structure of the CMMC model.

• Classify the CMMC ecosystem, stakeholders, and governance structures.

• Evaluate CMMC maturity levels, domains, and practice structures.

• Assess the CMMC assessment process and evaluation frameworks.

• Explore ethical and professional conduct structures within the CMMC environment.

Target Audience:

• IT and security professionals

• Risk and governance personnel

• Suppliers within regulated supply chains

• Professionals interested in CMMC environments
