Cybersecurity threats are evolving at a record pace, creating significant gaps and challenges for organizations handling sensitive data. To strengthen security across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), the Department of Defense (DoD) introduced the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program.  Conformance with CMMC standards is no longer just a regulatory “check in the box” requirement; it will become a condition for award later this year for defense contractors that are looking to secure government contracts and protect controlled unclassified information (CUI).  

NeoSystems recently achieved a perfect 110/110 score for its CMMC Level 2 assessment, a remarkable milestone that further establishes us as a trusted service provider in the DIB community and across the ecosystem.  

But how does this certification benefit organizations like yours? Read on to discover why NeoSystems’ CMMC Level 2 certification matters for government contractors and how it can accelerate your path to compliance.  

What Is CMMC Level 2 Certification?  

The CMMC program was designed to ensure that defense contractors, subcontractors and suppliers implement robust security measures to protect CUI. Achieving CMMC Level 2 certification signifies conformance with DFARS and 110 stringent cybersecurity practices specified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) SP 800-171 framework.  

Meeting CMMC Level 2 is a requirement for any contractor handling CUI for the DoD on nonfederal systems. The CMMC program establishes a structured framework for the safeguarding of sensitive information and once successfully implemented it positions companies for organizational resilience while strengthening their ability to retain and win future contracts in the government space.  

NeoSystems’ flawless Level 2 certification score demonstrates full conformance with all CMMC practices, ensuring the highest level of data security and trust.
