Synopsis

Do you work for a United States Government contractor, especially a Department of War("DOW") contractor? If so, you've probably (hopefully!) heard about DOW's new Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification ("CMMC") program.

And, like most contractors, you're probably also confused about what CMMC is, how it works, how it will apply to you, and, ultimately, how to get started. If so, or even if you just want to make sure you're on the right track, the "CMMC Everything I Need to Know to Get Started Guide" (we call it the "Everything Guide" for short) is THE resource you need. Written by a CMMC instructor and assessor who also wrote the first official CMMC training course and helped create the Cyber AB, the Everything Guide is the perfect reference to help you start your CMMC journey.

Whether you are a business owner, compliance professional, attorney, or an IT or cyber professional the Everything Guide will help you better understand CMMC and Controlled Unclassified Information ("CUI"), and it will give you the foundation for building a solid CMMC compliance program.

The Everything Guide is a great resource to keep at your fingertips. Be sure to order your copy of the Everything Guide today!
