When defense contractors entrust you with designs for systems that protect lives and national security, cybersecurity isn't just a requirement — it's a moral imperative.
That's why we're proud to announce that Modus Advanced has achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2, joining the first few hundred companies nationwide to reach this critical milestone. Our full certificate is available upon request, just contact us.
What CMMC Level 2 Means for Defense Manufacturing
The Department of Defense created CMMC to ensure that contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) meet stringent cybersecurity standards. Level 2 certification validates that we've implemented 110 security controls across 17 domains, from access control and incident response to system and communications protection.
This isn't just about checking compliance boxes. Every control we've implemented directly protects the sensitive engineering data, proprietary designs, and technical specifications that our defense partners share with us.
When you're developing radar systems, missile guidance technology, or electronic warfare capabilities, the stakes couldn't be higher.
Beyond Compliance: Our Proactive Security Approach
While many manufacturers are scrambling to meet CMMC requirements before contract deadlines, we took a different approach. We began implementing these cybersecurity measures well ahead of mandates because we understood what our defense partners needed.
Our AS9100 and ITAR certifications already demonstrated our commitment to quality and export control compliance. CMMC Level 2 adds another critical layer — comprehensive cybersecurity maturity that protects your innovations from sophisticated threat actors.
This proactive stance means our defense partners can focus on engineering breakthrough technologies while we handle the complex security infrastructure that keeps their data safe.
What This Means for Your Next Project
For mechanical engineers designing aircraft components, electrical engineers developing communication systems, or materials engineers creating advanced composites, CMMC Level 2 certification provides peace of mind that goes beyond technical specifications.
Your designs for next-generation defense systems are now protected by enterprise-grade cybersecurity controls. From the moment you share technical drawings to final production delivery, your intellectual property remains secure within our certified environment.
This certification also streamlines your vendor qualification process. Rather than conducting extensive security assessments, you can partner with confidence knowing we've already met DoD's most rigorous cybersecurity standards.
The Engineering Behind the Certification
Achieving CMMC Level 2 required the same systematic approach we bring to manufacturing complex RF shields and precision gaskets. Our engineering team worked alongside cybersecurity experts to implement controls that protect data integrity without compromising our rapid prototyping capabilities or design collaboration processes.
We've maintained the speed and flexibility that makes us valuable partners while adding robust security measures that meet defense sector requirements. The result is a manufacturing environment where sensitive projects can move from concept to production with both velocity and security.
Looking Forward: Your Trusted Defense Manufacturing Partner
This certification reinforces what our defense partners already know — when lives depend on your innovation, you need a manufacturing partner who understands what's at stake.
Our CMMC Level 2 achievement, combined with our vertical integration capabilities and engineering expertise, positions us to support the most critical defense programs. Whether you're developing next-generation avionics, advanced sensor systems, or electronic warfare technologies, we're equipped to protect your innovations while accelerating your path to deployment.
Because in defense manufacturing, security and speed aren't competing priorities—they're both essential to mission success.
