Where do I fit
in the CMMC-AB ecosystem?
The CMMC Accreditation Body is authorized by the US Department of Defense to be the sole authoritative source for the operationalization of CMMC Assessments and Training with the DOD contractor community, or other communities that may adopt the CMMC, and does not endorse, support, or promote any organization outside of the Accreditation Body that might use the acronym “CMMC" in their organization name, or in any description of the services they may provide.
