Cyber AB CCPCertified CMMC Professional
Cyber AB CCP (Certified CMMC Professional) is the foundational credential in the CMMC 2.0 ecosystem and a hard prerequisite for CCA. It validates knowledge of the CMMC model, scoping, ethics, NIST SP 800-171 controls, and the assessment process. CCPs participate in CMMC Level 2 assessments as team members, advise contractors as consultants, and serve as Registered Practitioners (RPs) within Registered Practitioner Organizations (RPOs). The cert is issued by Cyber AB (the CMMC Accreditation Body) and is required for anyone who wants to perform or support certified CMMC assessments of US Department of Defense contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information.

Who it’s for
Built for the people taking this exam.
GRC consultants, compliance analysts, and security engineers at defense contractors who advise on or prepare organizations for CMMC Level 2 assessments. The required first step toward CCA and the baseline credential expected of staff at any Registered Practitioner Organization or C3PAO.
Why it matters in 2026
The career signal.
CCP is the gatekeeping credential for the entire CMMC assessor and consultant economy. Roughly 80,000 defense contractors will eventually need CMMC compliance, and every one of them needs CCP-credentialed advisors to prepare for assessment. Federal-contracting consulting firms specifically recruit CCPs because Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO) status requires them on staff, and C3PAOs use CCPs as assessment team members. It is also the hard prerequisite for CCA, so anyone aiming to lead Level 2 assessments must hold CCP first.

Why: Registered Practitioners (RPs) are consultants employed by or working through Registered Practitioner Organizations (RPOs). Their role is to help OSCs design and implement practices and produce process documentation that aligns with CMMC requirements.
