Derrich P.

As a Expert Vetted (Top 1% on UpWork) with a 100% job success rate, rest assured that I execute at a high level of expertise, integrity, and professionalism. I am a Lead CMMC Certified Assessor (CCA) and CMMC Provisional Instructor (PI). My mission is to help organizations get CMMC certified fast without breaking the bank. I'm dedicated to transforming complex CMMC compliance into practical, actionable, and affordable strategies for organizations. My two decades in cybersecurity, spanning roles as a Cyber Network Defender in the U.S. Army and leadership positions at Lockheed Martin, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, and Bank of America, have forged my unique approach. I understand the real-world challenges and apply that insight to simplify CMMC. As the Founder and President of Aspire Cyber, I ensure our clients receive step-by-step guidance that minimizes burden and maximizes security. I also established the CMMC Professionals Network (CPN), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to delivering accessible, hands-on CMMC training to all, and host the CMMC Proof Podcast. Both initiatives are focused on providing actionable insights that make CMMC compliance more efficient and cost-effective. My goal is to give organizations the clarity and confidence to achieve CMMC certification swiftly, allowing them to focus on growth, not just compliance.
