What are CMMC-AB, CMMC, and the Responsibility of the RPO Designation?

NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, November 17, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- CyberSecOp is a leading Cybersecurity Services Provider offering a comprehensive portfolio of Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) advisory services and cyber security solutions.

CyberSecOp is a CMMC Registered Provider Organization (RPO) listed on the CMMC-AB Marketplace. Our organization staff have passed the RP Exam, Background Check, and signed the RPO agreement, indicating our commitment to comply with the CMMC-AB Code of Professional Conduct. CyberSecOp is also an ISO 27001-certified organization.

What are CMMC-AB, CMMC, and the Responsibility of the RPO Designation?

CMMC-AB authorizes RPOs to provide CMMC consulting services in support of government contractors, supply chain/DoD suppliers, and organizations seeking certification within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB).
The CMMC-AB is an independent accreditation body that manages the CMMC on behalf of the DoD. The CMMC framework is a set of mandatory cybersecurity requirements that all contractors within the DoD supply chain will be required to implement and, beginning this year, to have verified by an independent CMMC Third Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO). CMMC was created to address the ongoing theft of and unauthorized access to Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) by foreign adversaries through the enforcement of good cyber hygiene and best practices.

It initially launched in June 2020 and formally announced in August 2020 that it was accepting applications for five types of credentialed roles within the
CMMC ecosystem.

These include the following:
• C3PAOs
• Certified Assessors (CAs)
• Certified Professionals (CPs)
• Licensed Partner Publishers (LPPs)
• Registered Practitioners (RPs)
• Registered Provider Organizations (RPOs)

The CMMC framework establishes five certification levels with a defined security posture or maturity level an organization must achieve, determined by the sensitivity of the information they handle. These are outlined below:

How can CyberSecOp help your organization with CMMC?
