Cape Fox Corporation (CFC) announced that it has received Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, or CMMC Level 2, for Cape Fox Corporation and its subsidiaries with a perfect 110 score. Contract awards to CFC’s subsidiaries will be covered under the Cape Fox Corporation and subsidiaries CMMC certification number. CFC has been working to achieve CMMC certification for two years and is delighted to be able to announce its official status.
The Level 2 certification keeps the company well-positioned to work on Department of Defense (DoD) contract opportunities. CMMC is required of all DoD contractors. The DoD’s CMMC implementation follows a multi-step process, starting with company self-assessments on cybersecurity compliance and proceeding to a Level 2 certification. The CMMC framework protects controlled unclassified information (CUI) across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). It incorporates a comprehensive and scalable certification model that emphasizes implementing cybersecurity best practices. The stringent certification process ensures that defense contractors can safeguard sensitive data from cyber threats, which is critical for national security.
DoD has over 300,000 companies that provide support, with an estimated 76,000 companies and subcontractors required to be CMMC certified. Of those 76,000 companies, only a few hundred companies are certified. This certification means that CFC is one of only a small percentage of companies immediately compliant with the new, more rigorous CMMC rule that went into effect on December 16, 2024.
Chris Luchtefeld, Chief Executive Officer of CFC, commented, “Achieving CMMC Level 2 certification with a perfect score of 110 is a tremendous accomplishment and a testament to the dedication and expertise of our entire team,” said Chris Luchtefeld, CEO at Cape Fox. “This certification not only highlights our unwavering commitment to cybersecurity and protecting sensitive information but also positions us as a leader in our industry. I couldn’t be prouder of our team’s hard work and determination over the past two years to reach this milestone.”
