Peraton announced today that it has achieved Final Level 2 certification under the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program following a successful assessment by a CMMC Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization. This milestone underscores the company’s commitment to cybersecurity excellence for its customers.
The CMMC framework, developed by the Department of War (DoW), establishes rigorous cybersecurity standards for sensitive information across the nation’s defense industrial base. By earning this certification, Peraton demonstrates its ability to protect controlled unclassified information (CUI) and federal contract information with (enhanced or required) security measures.
“Peraton has long demonstrated the advanced technologies, workforce expertise, and proven safeguards to protect our nation’s most sensitive data and information,” said Peraton Chairman and CEO Steve Schorer. “This CMMC achievement reinforces our commitment to the Department of War and solidifies Peraton as a trusted partner in support of national security operations, critical missions, and defense priorities.”
Peraton’s early adoption of CMMC requirements and Level 2 certification, well ahead of the November 2026 deadline, means the company can continue to provide critical services in support of the warfighter without disruption.
Key benefits of CMMC:
- Enhanced security posture: Verified compliance with DoW cybersecurity requirements ensures Peraton provides robust protection of sensitive information.
- Mission continuity: Customers can rely on Peraton for uninterrupted support, knowing their data and operations are protected.
- Trusted partnership: Certification validates Peraton’s role as a trusted partner in supporting critical national security missions.
“Achieving Final CMMC Level 2 status reflects the strength of Peraton’s cybersecurity program and the dedication of our team,” said Peraton Chief Information Officer Tom Terjesen. “This milestone validates Peraton’s rigorous security architecture, operational discipline, and commitment to protecting the critical data our customers rely on every day.”
