The Audit Trail editorial desk Published Oct 29, 2026 [Some vendors pay us to be assessed or listed. Payment never changes a score, a rank or a verdict.](https://theauditrail.com/how-we-make-money/) In brief - The Cyber AB Marketplace lists 404 Registered Provider Organizations (RPOs) on October 29, 2026, down from 416 on October 2. - 104 of the 404 pass all four checks: founded by 2016, three readiness services, all US states served, 12 or more categories. - An RPO advises on CMMC readiness. A C3PAO performs the assessment, and the Marketplace lists 121 of them. - 244 RPOs list an Eastern time zone, and Virginia, Maryland, California, Florida and Texas have the most by headquarters state. - 259 RPOs report 10 or more years in business and 72 report under 5. The [Cyber AB Marketplace](https://cyberab.org/Catalog) lists 404 Registered Provider Organizations (RPOs) on October 29, 2026, down from 416 on October 2. An RPO gives advisory help to get a contractor ready for a CMMC assessment and cannot perform one. 104 of the 404 pass all four checks that anyone can run on a firm’s Marketplace record: founded in 2016 or earlier, Assessment Services, Governance, Risk & Compliance and Security Program Development declared, all US states served, and 12 or more of the 17 service categories declared. The 104 are listed alphabetically below. Ask any firm for references before signing. ## What an RPO does [CMMC](https://theauditrail.com/frameworks/cmmc/) runs in Phase 1 only. The Department of War suspended Phase II on July 13, 2026, so a self-assessment and an SPRS score are what most contractors file today. An RPO helps with that work: scoping, gap analysis and writing the System Security Plan. The certified Level 2 assessment is a different job, covered in the [C3PAO guide](https://theauditrail.com/frameworks/cmmc/c3pao/) and in the [phase-by-phase assessment guide](https://theauditrail.com/frameworks/cmmc/assessment/). The Marketplace lists the roles side by side on October 29, 2026: Marketplace role Listings Registered Provider Organization (RPO) 404 Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO) 121 Registered Practitioner (RP) 2,156 Registered Practitioner Advanced (RPA) 301 Certified CMMC Professional (CCP) 2,350 Certified CMMC Assessor (CCA) 1,190 Total listings across all roles: 7,350. The Department of War’s own figures for [Level 2 assessment costs](https://theauditrail.com/frameworks/cmmc/cost/) cover the assessment itself, and the [Level 2 requirements guide](https://theauditrail.com/frameworks/cmmc/level-2/) covers what the 110 requirements ask of a contractor. ## The 404 RPOs by region, age and service Of the 387 RPOs that list a time zone, 244 are Eastern, 62 Central, 36 Pacific and 26 Mountain. 9 list Korea and 10 list another zone.

Years in business RPOs Under 5 72 5 to 10 73 10 or more 259 59 of the 404 list remote services globally and 345 do not. Each RPO ticks the service categories it offers.

[Sprinto](https://theauditrail.com/vendors/sprinto/) matches a contractor to an RPO from its partner network for scoping, and [Vanta](https://theauditrail.com/vendors/vanta/) says it works with Cyber AB-listed RPOs on readiness. Secureframe, Inc. holds an RPO record of its own. The [CMMC compliance software ranking](https://theauditrail.com/best/cmmc-compliance-software/) scores what each platform does for SPRS scores, SSPs and POA&Ms. A contractor whose CUI sits in a cloud service also needs that service to meet the FedRAMP Moderate baseline. The [FedRAMP class guide](https://theauditrail.com/frameworks/fedramp/impact-levels/) explains how that baseline relates to Class C under the 2026 rules. ## Frequently asked questions - What is a CMMC RPO? A Registered Provider Organization is a firm listed on the Cyber AB Marketplace that gives advisory help to get a contractor ready for a CMMC assessment. It cannot perform a certified assessment. That job belongs to a C3PAO. - How many CMMC RPOs are there? The Cyber AB Marketplace listed 404 Registered Provider Organizations on October 29, 2026. It listed 416 on October 2, 2026, so the count fell by 12 in four weeks. - How many CMMC RPOs pass all four checks? 104 of the 404 pass all four: founded in 2016 or earlier, Assessment Services, Governance, Risk & Compliance and Security Program Development declared, all US states served, and 12 or more of the 17 service categories declared. - Can an RPO certify a company for CMMC? No. An RPO prepares a contractor for the assessment. A C3PAO performs the Level 2 certification assessment, and the Marketplace listed 121 C3PAOs on October 29, 2026. - How do I check that a consulting firm is an RPO? Search the Cyber AB Marketplace by the firm's name and filter to the RPO role. A firm that advertises CMMC consulting and has no RPO record is not a Registered Provider Organization. ## Related rankings and guides - [Platforms that automate SOC 2 evidence](https://theauditrail.com/best/soc-2-compliance-software/) - [The CPA firms that issue SOC 2 reports](https://theauditrail.com/best/soc-2-audit-firms/) - [Compliance management platforms, ranked](https://theauditrail.com/best/compliance-management-software/) - [ISMS platforms for running ISO 27001](https://theauditrail.com/best/isms-software/) - [Trust center platforms and who hosts them](https://theauditrail.com/best/trust-center-software/) - [Tools that run internal and external audits](https://theauditrail.com/best/audit-management-software/) - [GRC platforms for risk, policy and audit](https://theauditrail.com/best/grc-software/) - [Risk registers and risk management tools](https://theauditrail.com/best/risk-management-software/) - [CMMC compliance platforms, ranked](https://theauditrail.com/best/cmmc-compliance-software/) - [Options for teams leaving Drata](https://theauditrail.com/best/drata-alternatives/) - [Options for teams leaving Vanta](https://theauditrail.com/best/vanta-alternatives/) - [Options for teams leaving OneTrust](https://theauditrail.com/best/onetrust-alternatives/) - [ISO 27001 consultants and who shows a fee](https://theauditrail.com/best/iso-27001-consultants/) - [What GRC covers, from governance to risk](https://theauditrail.com/blog/grc/what-is-grc/) - [Compliance automation, explained](https://theauditrail.com/blog/grc/compliance-automation/) - [Who may sign a SOC 2 report](https://theauditrail.com/frameworks/soc-2/who-performs-a-soc-2-audit/) - [What a SOC 2 pen test costs by test type](https://theauditrail.com/frameworks/soc-2/penetration-test-cost/) - [How to choose a C3PAO assessor](https://theauditrail.com/frameworks/cmmc/c3pao/) - [What cloud companies show on their trust centers](https://theauditrail.com/research/trust-centers/) - [Compliance software pricing, platform by platform](https://theauditrail.com/research/compliance-software-pricing-2026/)
