Are you overwhelmed by CMMC? This course will save you WEEKS of research and set you up for success as you prepare for CMMC!
Jacob Hill has been leading the CMMC charge at a small business and created this course specifically for defense contractors. He developed this training as a one-stop solution to quickly get up to speed on CMMC!
NOTE: this course will be completely UPDATED based on the CMMC Program final rule in December 2024!
Who is this course for?
The course provides an overview of the FAR and DFARS cyber contractual requirements, NIST 800-171, and CMMC!
This awareness course is excellent for executives and others in your organization who need a higher-level understanding of CMMC.
Most CMMC training is geared towards assessors and consultants, but our CMMC Awareness course focuses on defense contractors and others who need to understand CMMC! This course is ideal for organizations in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) who need to comply with CMMC, and will give you the knowledge you need to make informed decisions.
