Cayuse Proudly Announces CMMC Level 2 Certification

We are thrilled to share an exciting milestone in Cayuse’s journey—our recent achievement of CMMC Level 2 certification, placing us among the vanguard of contractors that have reached this standard! This is a pivotal moment, not only for us but for our esteemed clients and partners who entrust us with their mission-critical data.

As of this year, the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 is essential for all contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) on Department of Defense contracts. It demonstrates a company's dedication to cybersecurity and compliance, serving as a crucial differentiator in competitive procurements. With nation-state adversaries and ransomware groups actively targeting the defense supply chain, this certification assures that Cayuse upholds the required cybersecurity hygiene to mitigate sophisticated cyber threats.

Our CMMC Level 2 certification is far more than a mere obligation—it's our testament to having implemented a robust cybersecurity framework. That includes:

• Documented and enforced security policies

• Advanced access controls

• Proactive vulnerability management

• Comprehensive incident response capabilities

By excelling in these domains, we offer you greatly reduced exposure to cyberattacks, reassuring you that your sensitive data is safe with us—even beyond the scope of DoD contracts.

What distinguishes Cayuse is our approach to data protection and compliance. As we join an elite group of contractors in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), with approximately 80 out of 80,000 reaching this certification, we affirm our status as a "low-risk vendor" in a risk-averse federal acquisition environment. We're not just complying with requirements; we're setting a precedent, fortifying our security posture to extend advantages to our clients.

Through our involvement, clients can look forward to:

• Assured Protection of Sensitive Data: Their information remains secure, steering clear of reputational damage and operational disruptions.

  
  

• Compliance Peace of Mind: Working with us fulfills their contractual obligations and decreases the chance of compliance-related setbacks.

  
  

• Competitive Advantage: We're ready to handle CUI contracts promptly, contributing to stronger, less risky proposals and faster execution.
