CMMC Compliance Training
Training for Defense Construction Contractors
These courses are the beginning of establishing a Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) pathway to achieve your desired level of cybersecurity maturity and succeed as a DoD contractors or sub-contractors.
There is no cost for Washington, Idaho, Oregon and Alaska State businesses currently in the Defense Supply Chain or those that are interested in supplying defense agencies (directly or in the supply chain).*
Contractors outside of the four states above can sign-up for the suite of CMMC courses at a cost of $125.
*Course fees are covered thanks to a generous CARES grant awarded to Impact Washington - the NIST MEP Affiliate for Washington State.
In partnership with
Joining Efforts to Raise CMMC Awareness
The Inland Northwest Associated General Contractors (AGC) partners with Ignyte Institute to accelerate the education and adaptation of their members to the emerging cybersecurity certification requirements for Defense Construction Contractors.
As a result of this collaboration, NWACG members are getting access to a CMMC adaptation program designed to introduce the emerging DoD-sponsored regulations to local construction companies and equip them with the necessary resources to prepare for the new standards. Start your educational journey by registering for the course package.
