What is CMMC Level 2?
CMMC Level 2 is a mandatory Department of Defense cybersecurity certification proving a machine shop has passed a strict, independent audit to securely handle sensitive military blueprints and defense data. Achieving this certification proves a machine shop securely handles sensitive military data and digital blueprints. This status, validated by an independent third-party audit (C3PAO), confirms compliance with 110 strict cybersecurity practices from NIST SP 800-171. It protects national security and is mandatory for manufacturing parts and bidding on Department of Defense contracts. See Borg Design certifications including CMMC Level 2 (C3PAO) >>
