Integris Achieves Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Level 2

Integris, a prominent player in future-ready managed services, has reached a significant milestone by obtaining the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2. This achievement not only underscores Integris' dedication to cybersecurity but also enhances its capability to assist clients in meeting stringent Department of Defense (DoD) standards required for competitive federal contracts.

What is CMMC?

The CMMC framework has been established by the U.S. Department of Defense to ensure that contractors maintain rigorous cybersecurity measures to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI). CMMC Level 2 is an essential certification that signifies an organization’s compliance with a set of cybersecurity criteria tailored for handling sensitive data effectively.

Integris’ new certification represents a major strategic advantage, setting it apart from numerous Managed Service Providers (MSPs) that only possess lower-tier Designations under the CMMC framework. Unlike many competitors that are registered only, Integris brings actual certification experience directly into client engagements, allowing them to provide informed and practical assistance.

The Importance of Certification

According to Dr. Brian Luckey, Chief Information Officer at Integris, achieving this certification is transformative for the firm's clientele. He states, “While many MSPs can guide clients through compliance, our firsthand experience with CMMC Level 2 audits provides deeper insights into what evidence is needed and how to establish a robust compliance posture.” This distinction enables Integris to offer its customers comprehensive resources, including proven playbooks and audit-ready documentation tailored for success in real-world audits.

Comprehensive Services Offered

Integris employs a thorough, three-pronged strategy to support clients in achieving and maintaining CMMC certification. Their services encompass:
1. CMMC Managed Services: This includes readiness assessments, gap analyses, and remediation planning to help clients navigate the compliance landscape effectively.
2. Managed Security Services: Continuous monitoring, threat detection, incident response, and vulnerability management are integral components that ensure ongoing protection against cybersecurity threats.
3. Managed Cloud Services: Custom-designed cloud solutions provide secure and compliant infrastructures tailored specifically for defense contractors, ensuring that organizations can transition smoothly into compliant operations.

As the relevance of CMMC certification continues to rise amidst tightening regulations on DoD contracts, firms that handle sensitive information will increasingly need to demonstrate their compliance status. Compliance today is no longer a one-off achievement; it demands continuous commitment and readiness, reflecting a shift in how cybersecurity is approached.

Enabling Future Opportunities

Integris' successful attainment of CMMC Level 2 certification accelerates their clients’ preparedness for upcoming opportunities in the defense sector, providing them the assurance to confidently pursue contracts that require adherence to these rigorous cybersecurity protocols. They now stand in a stronger position to attract new business, thanks to the elevated confidence in their cybersecurity capabilities.
