What is the Cyber AB?

Written by Waits Sharpe | Mar 25, 2024 1:05:45 PM

For Department of Defense contractors, CMMC compliance will soon become a requirement. The Cyber AB was formed to help contractors pursue and achieve compliance. For anyone seeking CMMC compliance, the Cyber AB is an essential resource to use.

What is the Cyber AB?

The Cyber AB describes itself as the "official accreditation body of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Ecosystem and the sole authorized non-governmental partner of the U.S. Department of Defense in implementing and overseeing the CMMC conformance regime". As a non-profit organization, the Cyber AB seeks to help facilitate and guide the implementation process of CMMC. They do this by authorizing and accrediting CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organizations (C3PAOs) to conduct compliance audits on organizations that are in scope of CMMC. the Cyber AB also accredits registered practitioners (RP), registered practitioner organizations (RPO), certified CMMC Assessors (CCA), and Certified CMMC Professionals (CCP). 

The Cyber AB website also acts as a database for organizations seeking certification (OSCs) to find C3PAO's or other organizations to help them achieve CMMC compliance.
