This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.Stop drowning in compliance jargon. This course gives you the exact playbook defense contractors use to pass a CMMC Level 1 or Level 2 self-assessment — without hiring a $50,000 consultant.By the end of this course you will be able to scope your environment, write your System Security Plan, score all 110 NIST 800-171 controls, submit your SPRS score, build a defensible POA&M, and maintain your assessment year after year. And you will do it with downloadable Word and Excel templates that I walk you through on screen.What makes this course differentMost CMMC courses stop at theory. This one ends with two complete scenario walkthroughs — a Level 1 small machine shop and a Level 2 engineering firm — where you watch every decision, every document, and every remediation sprint from start to finish.
