What is the role of the Cyber AB in the CMMC assessment process?

The role of the Cyber AB (Cybersecurity Accreditation Body) in the CMMC assessment process primarily involves establishing the assessment standards and processes necessary for evaluating compliance with the CMMC framework. This includes developing the policies, procedures, and guidelines that define how assessments should be conducted, ensuring consistency and quality across the assessment process.

By setting these standards, the Cyber AB helps to ensure that assessments are carried out in a reliable and standardized manner, allowing organizations to have confidence in the results of their CMMC evaluations. This foundational work is essential for maintaining the integrity of the certification process and for supporting both assessors and organizations seeking compliance.

While other roles may involve conducting assessments, managing financial aspects, or overseeing technology, none of these responsibilities fall within the primary mission of the Cyber AB. The emphasis is clearly on establishing comprehensive and uniform standards that govern the assessment landscape.
