CCA – Certified CMMC Assessor

New - This course prepares students for the Certified CMMC Assessor (CCA) certification.

A CMMC Certified Assessor (CCA) is the certification required to perform formal CMMC Level 2 assessments within the US Department of War’s (DoW) cybersecurity ecosystem. A CCA equips experienced cybersecurity professionals with the advanced skills needed to evaluate evidence, validate security controls, conduct interviews, and determine whether organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) meet CMMC Level 2 requirements.

A Certified CMMC Assessor (CCA) applies a rigorous Assessment Process to ensure the relevant security controls have been effectively implemented and that there is evidence that these controls can be sustained.

In this course, you will apply the CMMC Assessment Process to validate the performance of cybersecurity practices in the 14 domains derived from NIST SP 800-171.

This course is offered in partnership with Applied Technology Academy “Official CCP and CCA training delivered in partnership with Applied Technology Academy, a Cyber AB Approved Training Provider.”
