CMMC-AB
CMMC-AB was the original name for the CMMC Accreditation Body, the organization responsible for overseeing the CMMC ecosystem including training assessors and accrediting C3PAOs. It has since been renamed to the CyberAB (Cyber Accreditation Body).
The CyberAB manages the marketplace of authorized assessors and assessment organizations, maintains training and certification standards for CMMC professionals, and operates the CMMC ecosystem on behalf of the Department of Defense.
Why It Matters
Understanding who governs the CMMC ecosystem helps you identify legitimate assessors and training providers versus unaccredited organizations. Always verify that your C3PAO is listed on the CyberAB marketplace.
