Introduction
CDG is proud to present the Certified C2M2 Compliance & Implementation Expert program, a comprehensive, self-paced online training and certification designed to equip cybersecurity and risk management professionals with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to implement and assess the Cybersecurity Capability Maturity Model (C2M2) framework within their organizations. As cyber threats grow in sophistication and regulatory pressures intensify, organizations require structured maturity models to benchmark and improve their cybersecurity posture. This course delivers an in-depth exploration of the C2M2 framework’s principles, domains, and maturity indicator levels, guiding learners through the full lifecycle of adoption—from initial self-assessment to sustaining long-term continuous improvement.

Course Overview
The Certified C2M2 Compliance & Implementation Expert course spans the entirety of the C2M2 model’s 10 domains, including Risk Management; Asset, Change, and Configuration Management; Threat and Vulnerability Management; Identity and Access Management; Incident Response; and beyond. Each domain is examined through the lens of the model’s four maturity indicator levels (MIL0–MIL3), with real-world examples illustrating how leading organizations have successfully navigated the path from baseline controls to optimized cybersecurity capability. Learners will engage with hands-on exercises that simulate self-assessments, third-party audit preparations, and domain-specific implementation projects.

Throughout the course, students will:

• Understand the evolution of the C2M2 framework and its alignment with other major standards and regulatory requirements.
• Learn to map organizational objectives to C2M2 domains and maturity levels, creating tailored roadmaps for continuous improvement.
• Develop practical skills in conducting domain-based assessments, documenting findings, and presenting results to diverse stakeholder audiences.
• Explore advanced topics such as automation of controls, integration with Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), and adapting C2M2 for critical infrastructure and industrial environments.

By the end of the program, participants will be fully prepared to lead or support a C2M2 implementation initiative, drive independent self-assessments, coordinate with external auditors, and sustain an organization-wide cybersecurity maturity program.
