Systems Engineering Achieves CMMC Level 2 Certification with a Perfect Score

On November 6, 2025, Systems Engineering proudly announced that it has attained the prestigious Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 with a flawless assessment score of 110/110. This achievement not only underscores the company's dedication to operational cybersecurity excellence but also highlights their comprehensive capabilities as a Managed Service Provider (MSP) and Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO).

In the realm of information security, certification is a significant milestone. However, receiving a perfect score devoid of any deficiencies significantly enhances the credibility of Systems Engineering's cybersecurity measures. According to Erik Thomas, the Director of Advisory Services, achieving CMMC certification proves that the company's dedication to cybersecurity is not merely theoretical but is backed by operational success. He stated, "This isn't theory-it's operational proof that we walk the walk when it comes to cybersecurity maturity."

What the Certification Entails

The CMMC Level 2 certification was granted based on the company’s secure enclave environment, mirroring the operations for their clients' systems. It's not just about compliance; it’s about demonstrating a clear capability to safeguard sensitive information, including Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). This certification validates the strength and compliance of Systems Engineering's managed services, reinforcing a robust vendor ecosystem aligned with the CMMC framework and enhancing their consulting practice.

Implications for Clients

1. Proven Compliance Maturity: Clients can rest assured that the managed service offerings and engineering solutions offered by Systems Engineering meet the stringent standards of one of the most demanding cybersecurity frameworks in the nation.

2. Enhanced Advisory Credibility: Unlike firms that provide purely theoretical advice, Systems Engineering's hands-on experience with the entire CMMC certification process positions them uniquely to guide clients through their own assessments.

3. A Trusted Vendor Ecosystem: The certification assures clients that the technology stack and vendor partnerships at Systems Engineering are thoroughly vetted and compliant with CMMC standards, ensuring a reliable service environment.

As CMMC requirements begin to appear in defense contracts starting in November 2025, Systems Engineering is actively assisting defense contractors and subcontractors throughout their compliance journey. Their CMMC services include comprehensive offerings such as CUI network scoping, gap analyses, remediation, documentation, and management of long-term compliance programs.

Kent Goodrow, the Chief Information Security Officer at Systems Engineering, emphasized the importance of delivering practical solutions, stating, "Our clients demand more than checklists. They need end-to-end solutions that are field-tested and future-ready. This certification gives us even more credibility to guide them forward with confidence."
