CMMC has become a contractual and compliance reality for organizations operating in the U.S. Department of Defense supply chain. In the 2024–2025 regulatory landscape, CMMC is no longer a distant requirement but a gating condition for participation in defense contracts. Many organizations struggle not with implementing controls, but with understanding what CMMC actually requires, how maturity levels are interpreted, and how assessments are performed in practice.
This Foundations course addresses that gap. Participants work through the structure of the CMMC model, learning how domains, capabilities, processes, and practices fit together across maturity levels. The training explains how CMMC expectations differ from traditional cybersecurity frameworks and why evidence, consistency, and process maturity matter as much as technical controls.
Rather than listing controls, the course focuses on interpretation and application. Participants examine how CMMC is used across the Defense Industrial Base, how assessment boundaries are defined, and how organizations are evaluated during formal reviews. The CMMC ecosystem is clarified, including the roles of organizations, assessors, and certification bodies, as well as the professional conduct expectations that govern assessments.
Delivered by practitioners familiar with regulatory and audit environments, the course prepares participants to engage confidently in CMMC discussions, readiness efforts, and certification planning. It provides the foundational clarity required before moving into implementation or assessment roles, ensuring that subsequent CMMC work is structured, defensible, and aligned with DoD expectations.
Upon completing the course, you will understand the basic concepts, definitions, and approaches of the CMMC model and become familiar with CMMC maturity levels, domains, processes, and practices.
You will also develop a general understanding of how the CMMC model could be applied in the supply chain of the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) sector, including foundational awareness of the CMMC ecosystem, assessment process, and code of professional conduct.
