On August 26, Fortinet Federal, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Fortinet, Inc., announced that it has achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 following an assessment by an Authorized CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO).
The CMMC Level 2 certification validates Fortinet Federal’s implementation of 110 security requirements aligned with NIST SP 800-171 Revision 2 for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information within its assessed environment.
Fortinet Federal pursued CMMC Level 2 certification as part of its broader commitment to strengthening cybersecurity across its operations and supply chain, while providing customers, government contractors, and partners with independent validation of its security practices. The experience also validates Fortinet Federal’s firsthand understanding of the requirements facing organizations across the Defense Industrial Base.
“CMMC reflects the responsibility every DoD contractor has to protect sensitive defense information wherever it resides,” said Steve Hoffman, president, Fortinet Federal. “Achieving CMMC Level 2 demonstrates that Fortinet Federal applies the same rigorous security practices we help customers implement within our own organization. We remain focused on continuously improving our security program as threats and mission requirements evolve.”
