Castellum, Inc. Achieves CMMC Level 2 C3PAO Certification
Castellum, Inc., a cybersecurity and electronic warfare services company serving federal government clients, has successfully achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 following an assessment by an accredited Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO). The certification validates the company's implementation of cybersecurity controls and processes required to handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in defense contractor environments. CMMC Level 2 certification requires organizations to demonstrate documented implementation of 110 security controls across 17 domains, including access control, incident response, risk management, and system security. The certification process involves rigorous third-party assessment of both technical controls and organizational processes, ensuring contractors meet Department of Defense cybersecurity standards for protecting sensitive government information.
Why It Matters
CMMC certification is becoming mandatory for defense contractors handling sensitive government data, with the DoD requiring Level 2 certification for contracts involving CUI. This achievement positions Castellum to compete for higher-value federal contracts while demonstrating the practical implementation challenges organizations face in meeting evolving government cybersecurity requirements.
