SAP NS2 Achieves CMMC Level 2 Compliance

In a significant stride towards enhancing cybersecurity, SAP National Security Services (SAP NS2) has successfully achieved the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2. This accomplishment is a critical milestone that showcases the company’s commitment to protecting sensitive data, specifically Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), for both the United States Department of War (DOW) and the Defense Industrial Base (DIB).

CMMC Level 2 represents an advanced standard of cybersecurity maturity. Organizations aiming for this certification must implement comprehensive security measures and demonstrate that cybersecurity practices are well integrated into their operational framework. The achievement confirms that SAP NS2 has not only established the requisite cybersecurity protocols but has done so in alignment with NIST SP 800-171 Revision 2 across all its operations and cloud infrastructure.

This certification allows SAP NS2 to better serve its DOW customers and contractors within the DIB who handle CUI, thus assuring them that their vital data is shielded by robust and rigorously validated security measures.

Penny Klein, Chief Information Security Officer of SAP NS2, remarked, “Achieving CMMC Level 2 certification underscores our unwavering commitment to protecting our nation’s most sensitive information. It validates the robust security controls we already have in place and reinforces our ability to meet the evolving security requirements of the DOW community.”

As cybersecurity regulations continue to tighten, particularly in contexts involving DOW and DIB, organizations can be assured that SAP NS2 meets the changing U.S. compliance requirements while aligning with best practices for national security. The company ensures its SAP cloud solutions adhere to FedRAMP and DISA security control standards based on their authorization for operational status. Moreover, the combined effort of SAP NS2’s people, processes, and technologies illustrates a comprehensive strategy towards safeguarding the cybersecurity landscape in the nation.
