How It Works: CMMC Certification with BARR as Your C3PAO
Preparing for your CMMC certification assessment could take several months and should be treated as a “phase 0.” If your organization does not have an internal CMMC expert, we recommend engaging a qualified CMMC implementation specialist to guide the effort. By the time phase 1 begins, we, as assessors, expect all preparations to be complete, which includes a defined scope, collected evidence, and full readiness for evaluation.
BARR’s team conducts a pre-assessment to review your System Security Plan (SSP) and validate the scope of the assessment.
As an authorized C3PAO, BARR assesses your organization’s conformity with security requirements. This involves a thorough examination, interviews with key stakeholders, and control testing.
BARR compiles and reports on the results of our assessment. Afterward, all BARR assessment reports undergo an internal quality assurance review. We’ll also conduct a debrief meeting with your team to share our findings.
You’ve done it! This phase includes issuing the Certificate of CMMC Status and closing out any Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms).
