Acuative’s Milestone: A Signpost for DoD Subcontractors
Acuative’s achievement of CMMC Level 2 certification signals growing enforcement and importance of cybersecurity readiness within the Department of Defense supply chain. Level 2 certification includes implementation of the NIST SP 800-171 controls required to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), which many subcontractors handle daily.
Why Level 2 Certification Matters
- Compliance is no longer optional. The DoD increasingly requires verified cybersecurity maturity before awarding or renewing contracts.
- Competitive advantage. Certification can differentiate your company from competitors lacking formal cyber readiness.
- Risk mitigation. Enhanced cybersecurity reduces exposure to cyber threats that could jeopardize contracts and sensitive data.
What Small and Mid-Size DoD Contractors Should Do Now
- Conduct a gap analysis comparing your current cybersecurity practices to CMMC Level 2 requirements.
- Develop a remediation plan targeting weakest controls to build toward certification.
- Engage with trusted advisors to guide you through readiness assessments and audits.
Acuative’s accomplishment is proof positive that mastering CMMC compliance is both achievable and essential. Don’t wait for enforcement to catch you unprepared.
