ISACA CCP exam preparation

CMMC Certified Professional (CCP) Training Course

Build the foundational skills to work inside the CMMC ecosystem, help Defense Industrial Base organizations become assessment-ready, and prepare for the official ISACA CMMC Certified Professional™ (CCP™) exam.

Course focus: Accumentum’s CCP training is mapped to the current ISACA CCP exam content outline. You will cover the CMMC ecosystem, the Code of Professional Conduct, governance and source documents, model construct and implementation evaluation, the CMMC Assessment Process (CAP), and scoping. The course also prepares you to protect Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), support CMMC Level 1–3 programs, and take the next step toward CMMC Certified Assessor (CCA).

Course Overview

The foundational certification for CMMC implementation and assessment teams.

The CMMC Certified Professional™ (CCP™) is ISACA’s foundational credential for anyone seeking to work in the implementation and assessment ecosystem of the U.S. Department of War (DoW) Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program. CCP validates that you can help organizations build assessment-ready cybersecurity programs and participate on a CMMC Assessment Team during official assessments.

Accumentum’s CCP Training Course is built around the official ISACA exam content outline. Training starts with the CMMC ecosystem and professional ethics, then moves into CMMC governance, source documents, FCI and CUI handling, model construct, practice evaluation, evidence quality, the four-phase CMMC Assessment Process (CAP), and scoping. You will also learn how current CMMC levels work: Level 1 (Foundational) for basic FCI safeguarding under FAR 52.204-21, Level 2 (Advanced) for NIST SP 800-171 CUI protection, and Level 3 (Expert) for selected NIST SP 800-172 enhanced requirements.

The course combines instructor-led explanation, scenario-based exercises, and exam-style practice so you can apply CMMC practices, support gap analysis and evidence collection, and sit the CCP exam with a clear picture of what comes next: exam registration through ISACA/PSI, the certification application, experience requirements, Tier 3 eligibility, and the pathway to CCA.

Course Objectives

What you will be able to do after CCP training with Accumentum.

Work Inside the CMMC Ecosystem

Identify the roles of CyberAB, ISACA as CAICO, C3PAOs, CCPs, CCAs, Organizations Seeking Assessment (OSA), and other authorities across the CMMC program.

Evaluate CMMC Practices

Use official source documents to review implementation of CMMC practices, judge evidence quality, and support assessment-ready programs that protect FCI and CUI.

Apply the Assessment Process

Perform the CCP role across CAP phases: plan and prepare, conduct the assessment, report results, and evaluate outstanding POA&M items.

Prepare for CCP and CCA

Build exam-ready knowledge across all six official domains and understand the certification, ethics, experience, and Tier 3 requirements that follow the exam.

Who Should Attend

DoW / DIB suppliers preparing for CMMC: Contractors and subcontractors that process FCI or CUI and need staff who can make programs assessment-ready.
IT and security managers at DIB companies: Leaders aligning systems, evidence, and practices to CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 requirements.
GRC and compliance leads: Professionals driving CMMC programs, scoping, documentation, and assessment preparation.
Aspiring CMMC assessors: Candidates who need CCP as the required first step toward CCA and assessment-team work with a C3PAO.
Early-career DIB cyber professionals: Practitioners entering defense-contractor compliance, pre-assessment support, or evidence-collection roles.

Prerequisites

Recommended baseline: A college degree in a cyber or information technology field, or 2+ years of related education, or 2+ years of related experience (including military) in cyber, IT, or assessment work. This matches the experience ISACA looks for when you apply for certification after the exam.
Working knowledge of IT and security basics: Familiarity with networks, access control, logging, and common security practices makes the model-construct and evidence modules easier to apply.
Interest in CMMC compliance: Motivation to learn FCI/CUI handling, NIST SP 800-171 alignment, assessment methodology, and professional ethics.
Certification path note: Completing this course prepares you for the CCP exam. Earning the CCP credential also requires passing the ISACA exam, paying the application fee, demonstrating experience, obtaining a positively adjudicated Tier 3 background investigation, and adhering to the Code of Professional Ethics and CPE policy.

CCP Exam Readiness

Accumentum CCP training prepares learners for the ISACA CMMC Certified Professional (CCP) exam and the certification steps that follow.

ISACA CMMC Certified Professional (CCP) training course with Accumentum

The ISACA CCP exam is a computer-based exam administered at authorized PSI testing centers or by remote proctor. It consists of 170 questions across six job practice domains. Exam eligibility is established when you register and is typically valid for six months. Registration is continuous; appointments can usually be scheduled 48 hours after payment.

Passing the exam is one part of becoming CCP certified. ISACA also requires completion of mandatory CCP training, a certification application and processing fee, evidence of the stated education or experience requirement, a positively adjudicated Tier 3 background investigation, and adherence to the Code of Professional Ethics and CPE policy. CCP is the required first step toward becoming a CMMC Certified Assessor (CCA).

Earning CCP signals that you can help DIB organizations reach assessment-ready cybersecurity programs, protect FCI and CUI, and contribute on official CMMC assessment teams. That credential supports consulting, GRC, pre-assessment, and C3PAO team-member roles across the defense contractor community.
