The CMMC Accreditation Body—newly incorporated as a nonprofit in Maryland—has emailed stakeholders touting its activity so far in standing up a system to manage audits of defense contractors’ cybersecurity and outlining the next steps. The accreditation body is now getting into the details of CMMC third-party assessment organizations (C3PAOs), and other CMMC topics such as the training prospective auditors will need to undergo in a series of webinars. According to CMMC-AB’s website, work has already begun and will be ongoing within its standards committee to “decide the thresholds for validating that an organization has met the standard for each control.”
