Sentinel Blue, a leader in managed cybersecurity and compliance solutions, proudly announces its achievement as one of the first companies to secure Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 certification under the Department of Defense’s (DoD) newly launched CMMC program.
The CMMC program, designed to enhance cybersecurity across the defense industrial base (DIB), requires contractors to meet rigorous standards for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Achieving Level 2 certification demonstrates an advanced level of cybersecurity maturity, a critical requirement for organizations seeking to compete for national security contracts.
“Being among the first to achieve this certification is a tremendous accomplishment for our team, one that comes as the result of years of hard work and dedication. Expertise and excellence in our craft has been the vision for Sentinel Blue since day one, and rigorous validation of our capabilities through this certification process is immensely gratifying,” said Andy Sauer, CEO of Sentinel Blue. “While it is an achievement for our team, we recognize the hard work of protecting our partners and our nation continues ahead.”
Sentinel Blue’s certification was achieved through its flagship managed security service, Sentinel Shield—an advanced cybersecurity program offering end-to-end compliant protection and programming for systems architecture. Sentinel Shield integrates enterprise-grade tools and robust security measures, ensuring comprehensive threat defense and operational resilience for businesses of all sizes.
Key factors in Sentinel Blue’s path to certification include:
Proactive Leadership: Early adoption of CMMC requirements and engagement with the broader community have been a key enabler of developing the specific expertise needed to achieve certification.
Cutting-Edge Technology: Deployment of advanced tools, including Microsoft’s security suite, to secure systems and meet federal compliance standards.
