Dynamic Quest Achieves CMMC Level 2 Certification with a Perfect Score

Dynamic Quest, a prominent entity in managed IT services, has recently announced a significant achievement—garnering the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2. This milestone comes after the company successfully completed the rigorous assessment on its first attempt, obtaining a perfect score of 110 with no findings recorded. This accomplishment highlights Dynamic Quest's commitment to providing top-tier cybersecurity solutions for enterprises and mid-sized businesses, positioning them favorably in a landscape where security is paramount, especially for defense contractors.

CMMC Level 2 certification entails adherence to a comprehensive set of 110 security measures as outlined in the NIST Special Publication 800-171. These standards are crucial for organizations involved in protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) across the defense supply chain. Dynamic Quest's certification not only sets a benchmark but also offers a validated environment where defense contractors can manage their cybersecurity needs effectively.

As per the latest guidelines from the Department of Defense (DoD), CMMC requirements will become integral components in defense contracts starting from November 10, 2025. With a push toward protective measures, all new and renewing contracts involving CUI will necessitate third-party CMMC Level 2 certification come November 2026. With approximately 80,000 defense contractors in need of such certification yet only about 1% prepared as indicated in a recent report, the need for certified IT partners like Dynamic Quest is critical.

For defense contractors currently navigating the landscape of cybersecurity compliance, Dynamic Quest’s achievement means that they can operate within a managed environment already certified to CMMC Level 2 standards. This allows clients to leverage existing certified infrastructure and security controls, significantly expediting their own certification processes ahead of the looming deadlines.

John Guillaume, the President and CEO of Dynamic Quest, emphasized the importance of this certification for both the company and its clients: “We invested in the certification because we knew it would be difficult for most defense contractors to achieve certification by November, and the fastest, most credible way for us to help them was to walk this entire 110-control path ourselves, first. Our perfect score on our first attempt is indicative of the foundation our clients can expect.”

The data-driven assessment process involved the collaboration with Forvis Mazars, one of the leading CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organizations (C3PAOs). In addition, the engagement of independent CMMC advisory and preparation support from Kratos helped ensure the thoroughness of the assessment undertaken.

Martin Capurro, Chief Technology Officer of Dynamic Quest, shared his insights on the challenges of achieving such certification, stating, “CMMC Level 2 is a rigorous, evidence-driven assessment, and there is nowhere to hide across the 110 controls. Our environment was engineered from the ground up with FedRAMP-aligned components, which can be utilized by defense contractors to ensure their compliance and faster readiness.”
