The CMMC RP credential is granted by the Cyber AB to individuals who complete approved RP training, pass the RP exam, pass a background check, and sign the Code of Professional Conduct. RPs operate under a Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO) and provide advisory services only — they are explicitly prohibited from participating in formal CMMC assessments.

1What does the acronym 'RP' stand for in the CMMC ecosystem?
A.Registered Practitioner
B.Recognized Professional
C.Regulatory Partner
D.Readiness Provider
Explanation: RP stands for Registered Practitioner. RPs are individuals who have completed Cyber AB-approved RP training, passed the RP exam, passed a background check, and signed the Code of Professional Conduct. They are authorized to provide CMMC advisory services to Organizations Seeking Certification (OSCs).
2Which organization serves as the sole official accreditation body for the CMMC ecosystem?
A.NIST
B.DCSA
C.Cyber AB
D.ISACA
Explanation: The Cyber AB (Cybersecurity Assessor and Instructor Certification Organization) is the official partner of the Department of Defense responsible for registering, accrediting, and overseeing the CMMC Ecosystem. Note: ISACA was named the new CAICO for higher-level CCP/CCA credential oversight in 2026, but the Cyber AB remains the core accreditation body.
3An RP is affiliated with which type of organization in the CMMC ecosystem?
A.RPO
B.OSC
C.DCSA
D.C3PAO
Explanation: Registered Practitioners (RPs) must be affiliated with a Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO). The RPO is the organizational entity registered with the Cyber AB, and RPs operate under its umbrella to deliver advisory services to OSCs preparing for CMMC certification.
4What type of services is a CMMC Registered Practitioner authorized to provide?
A.Advisory and readiness consulting services to OSCs
B.DoD contract award recommendations
C.Formal CMMC Level 2 assessments
D.CMMC certification decisions
Explanation: RPs are authorized to provide advisory and readiness services — such as gap assessments, remediation planning, and preparation guidance — to Organizations Seeking Certification (OSCs). RPs are explicitly prohibited from conducting formal CMMC assessments, which can only be performed by certified CCAs operating under a C3PAO.
5What does 'OSC' stand for in the CMMC ecosystem?
A.Operational Security Contractor
B.Oversight and Security Certification
C.Office of Sector Compliance
D.Organization Seeking Certification
Explanation: OSC stands for Organization Seeking Certification. These are the defense contractors and subcontractors in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) that must achieve CMMC certification to be awarded DoD contracts that involve FCI or CUI. RPs primarily advise and support OSCs.
6What does 'C3PAO' stand for in the CMMC ecosystem?
A.Contractor Cybersecurity Compliance and Procurement Authority Organization
B.CMMC Coordinated Professional Assessment Organization
C.CMMC Certified Compliance and Professional Assessment Office
D.CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organization
Explanation: C3PAO stands for CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organization. C3PAOs are independent organizations accredited by the Cyber AB to conduct formal CMMC Level 2 assessments of OSCs. They employ CCPs and CCAs to carry out the assessment work.
7Which CMMC ecosystem role conducts formal Level 2 certification assessments?
A.Registered Practitioner (RP)
B.Authorized Training Provider (ATP)
C.Certified CMMC Assessor (CCA)
D.Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO)
Explanation: Certified CMMC Assessors (CCAs) are the individuals authorized to conduct formal CMMC Level 2 assessments as part of a C3PAO team. CCPs may support assessments but cannot make final certification determinations. RPs and RPOs are advisory roles and may not participate in formal assessments.
8How many CMMC maturity levels exist in CMMC 2.0?
A.2
B.4
C.3
D.5
Explanation: CMMC 2.0 has three maturity levels: Level 1 (Foundational), Level 2 (Advanced), and Level 3 (Expert). This was streamlined from the original CMMC 1.0 model, which had five levels. Level 1 focuses on FCI protection, Level 2 on CUI protection using NIST SP 800-171, and Level 3 on protecting against advanced persistent threats using NIST SP 800-172.
9CMMC Level 1 is primarily designed to protect which type of information?
A.Federal Contract Information (FCI)
B.Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)
C.Classified National Security Information
D.Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
Explanation: CMMC Level 1 (Foundational) is designed to protect Federal Contract Information (FCI). FCI is information generated or received under a government contract that is not intended for public release. The 17 Level 1 practices map directly to FAR clause 52.204-21's basic safeguarding requirements.
10CMMC Level 2 maps its practices to which NIST publication?
A.NIST SP 800-53
B.NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2
C.NIST SP 800-172
D.NIST SP 800-82
Explanation: CMMC Level 2 (Advanced) maps its 110 practices directly to NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2, which specifies security requirements for protecting CUI in non-federal systems. Despite NIST finalizing Rev. 3 in May 2024, the CMMC rule and DFARS clause require compliance with Rev. 2.
