The five maturity levels originally released for CMMC in January 2020 are as follows:
• ML1 - Basic Cyber Hygiene | The first level of CMMC compliance is centered around the performance of basic information security practices.
• ML2 - Intermediate Cyber Hygiene | Organizations at this level have established and documented cybersecurity practices as a step toward implementation.
• ML3 - Good Cyber Hygiene | ML-3 organizations have a plan to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) that may include mission, goals, resourcing, training, stakeholders, etc.
• ML4 - Proactive | These organizations review and measure cybersecurity practices to effectively protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
• ML5 - Advanced / Progressive | Organizations at this level implement standards and processes across the entire organization to protect CUI from Advanced Persistent Threats.
To become a CMMC CA-5 Assessor, you must:
• Hold the CMMC-AB Certified ML-3 Credential
• Complete the training and exam for the CMMC Certified CA-5 Assessor credential
• Successfully complete 15 CMMC ML-3 Assessments to be eligible for CA-5 training
• Have or gain a favorably adjudicated Tier 3 background check that results in no security clearance-or-

Yes! SimSpace's CMMC training courses are all fully online, self-directed, and can be accessed securely from anywhere. So you can get the information you need to prepare for the CA-5 exam when and where it makes sense for your schedule.
As a Certified Assessor (CA), you may train to become a Level 1, 3, or 5 Assessor. As your level increases, you are credentialed to oversee CMMC assessments at higher maturity levels with increased data sensitivity. You are also eligible to supervise CPs and lower-level CAs.
After you complete the CA-5 training, you must then apply to take the CA-5 exam with the CMMC-AB. Only after you pass that exam and meet the full requirements for a CA-5 will you be authorized to conduct CMMC assessments.
No, since the CMMC is a five-tier model, CA-5 is currently the highest CA level available. It covers the full spectrum of potential DoD vendors with the greatest need for sensitivity around cybersecurity and information handling.
