CMPs

CMPs is an acronym that can refer to several concepts in technology, medicine, and industry. Notable meanings include Consent Management Platforms used in digital privacy, Comprehensive Metabolic Panels in clinical testing, Cost Management Plans in project management, Chemical Mechanical Planarization in semiconductor fabrication, and the Certificate Management Protocol in PKI.

Consent Management Platforms are software tools that help websites and apps obtain, record, and manage user consent for data processing and cookies. They typically provide cookie banners, allow users to set preferences, maintain an auditable consent log, and support vendor management and compliance with privacy laws such as GDPR and CCPA.

Comprehensive Metabolic Panels are routine blood tests that assess organ function and metabolic status. A CMP typically measures electrolytes, kidney function, liver function, blood glucose, and protein levels, yielding a panel of values used for screening and monitoring conditions. Results require clinical interpretation in context.

Cost Management Plans are project management documents describing how costs will be planned, estimated, tracked, and controlled. A CMP defines budgeting approaches, estimation methods, cost baselines, monitoring and reporting procedures, and change-control processes to keep projects within approved budgets.

Chemical Mechanical Planarization is a polishing process used in semiconductor manufacturing to create flat, planar surfaces on silicon wafers. It combines chemical etching and mechanical polishing with abrasive pads and slurries, and its parameters influence device yield, layer alignment, and subsequent process steps.

Certificate Management Protocol, also known as CMP, is an IETF-standard framework for managing PKI certificates throughout their lifecycle. It covers enrollment, renewal, revocation, and status checking, enabling automated interactions between certificate authorities, enrollment clients, and repositories.
