CMMC is live today. Self-assessment requirements, SPRS scores, and the annual affirmation obligation are in force. Third-party assessment was suspended in July 2026 — but your underlying training and documentation obligations were not. Prime contractors are already enforcing flow-downs on their supply chains.
CMMC for Business Professionals is the fastest way for a non-engineer to get fluent. In two focused half-days, you’ll learn what CMMC actually requires, whether your organization handles the information that triggers it, and what remains binding for primes and subs.
You’ll leave able to hold your own in a conversation with assessors, C3PAOs, and contracting officers — and with a concrete checklist of next steps for both you and your organization. It’s the on-ramp before the deeper work of implementation, certification, and assessment.
