Redspin's Exemplary Achievement in CMMC Level 2 Certification

Redspin, recognized as one of the largest and most experienced third-party assessment organizations (C3PAOs) within the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) ecosystem, recently announced a significant milestone. Its Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) unit has achieved a perfect score of 110 in the CMMC Level 2 certification following an independent assessment. This accomplishment validates Redspin's capability to provide secure operations and ongoing cloud management in strict alignment with CMMC requirements.

Significance of the Certification

The CMMC certification is crucial for organizations operating within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) as it ensures adherence to stringent cybersecurity practices required to safeguard sensitive information. By successfully attaining Level 2 certification, Redspin demonstrates its commitment to enhancing security protocols and protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) across its service offerings.

President Brian McManamon stated, "Clients often approach us after CMMC assessments looking for effective ways to safeguard their environments. Our team excels in operationalizing cloud protection for CUI, and this certification affirms our capability."

An Assurance for Clients

For clients seeking cybersecurity solutions, this independent validation serves as a powerful tool in their CMMC strategy, significantly reducing risk. According to McManamon, “Many service providers claim expertise in CMMC compliance, but Redspin's certified managed services offer concrete evidence of our robust security posture in line with Department of Defense (DoD) expectations.”

Supporting Organizations in CMMC Journey

As the DoD moves forward with the phased rollout of CMMC standards, many contractors require partners with proven expertise and experience in this newly established framework. Redspin provides comprehensive support throughout the CMMC lifecycle, which includes readiness assessments, secure cloud environments, managed security services, and ongoing compliance assistance. With approximately 25% of all CMMC Level 2 assessments conducted to date attributed to Redspin, the organization possesses unparalleled experience at every stage of the compliance journey.

Transparency and Trust in Cybersecurity

CISO Thomas Graham reacted to the certification by emphasizing, "This achievement illustrates that we not only assess the CMMC standards but embody them in our operations. Organizations handling CUI should expect transparency and validation from any partner supporting their cybersecurity efforts."

In closing, the accomplishment of securing a CMMC Level 2 certification not only enhances Redspin's reputation but also significantly contributes to raising industry standards within cybersecurity practices tailored for the defense sector.
