On April 20, Integrated Data Services, LLC (IDS) announced that it has achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 Level 2 certification following a successful third-party assessment by an authorized Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO).
The certification confirms that IDS meets the rigorous cybersecurity requirements outlined in NIST SP 800-171, encompassing 110 security controls across 14 control families designed to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
“As cybersecurity threats become increasingly critical, it is imperative that companies make robust security practices part of their organizational fabric,” said Brad Lund, CTO at IDS. “This certification validates that we have the comprehensive controls and implementation to honor the trust our defense mission partners place in us to protect sensitive information that directly impacts national security.”
IDS achieved this milestone with the support of Sentinel Blue, a Virginia-based managed cybersecurity and compliance firm specializing in the Defense Industrial Base. Through its Pathfinder program, Sentinel Blue provided strategic guidance, operational security capabilities, and assessment preparation that were instrumental to IDS’ certification success.
“Partnership is powering a lot of the early success stories of CMMC–and this is another story of partnership leading to success,” said Andy Sauer, CEO at Sentinel Blue. “The Integrated Data Services team was simply exceptional and among the strongest organizations that Sentinel Blue has had the privilege to support through CMMC Certification.”
As CMMC requirements continue to take effect across the defense acquisition landscape, the certification positions IDS to meet the evolving cybersecurity expectations of its government customers and ensures the company remains a trusted partner for programs that demand verified protection of sensitive information, the company said.
