This Package includes the CDMC course plus the certification exam.

CDMC (the Cloud Data Management Capabilities) Framework is the industry-standard, best practice framework for the management and control of sensitive and important data in cloud, multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud environments. The development of CDMC was facilitated by the EDM Council with the contribution of over 300 professionals from over 100 organizations including cloud consumers, cloud service providers, technology providers and consultancies. CDMC provides organizations the ability to assess their current state cloud data management capabilities and identify gaps for remediation. CDMC also enables cloud service and technology providers to audit and certify that their products and services support and automate key controls for the control of sensitive data in cloud environments.

The CDMC course provides a comprehensive perspective on capabilities needed to manage and control data at scale in cloud environments. The curriculum is organized into six core components covering 37 essential data management capabilities and 14 key controls.
