August 5, 2026 – DP Solutions, a leading managed IT and cybersecurity provider serving organizations throughout the Mid-Atlantic, today announced it has achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2, demonstrating its commitment to protecting sensitive information and maintaining the highest standards of cybersecurity for its clients.
CMMC Level 2 is a cybersecurity certification established by the U.S. Department of War (DoW) for organizations that store, process, or transmit Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). The certification validates the implementation of 110 security requirements based on NIST SP 800-171 and is designed to strengthen cybersecurity across the Defense Industrial Base.
For organizations supporting the Department of War, achieving and maintaining CMMC compliance is increasingly important for participating in government contracts and demonstrating the ability to safeguard sensitive information.
"Cybersecurity and compliance have become business priorities, not just IT priorities," said Melissa Bryant, President of DP Solutions. "Achieving CMMC Level 2 demonstrates that we're holding ourselves to the same high standards we help our clients achieve every day. We're proud to provide the expertise, guidance, and security-first mindset organizations need to operate with confidence."
The certification not only validates DP Solutions' internal cybersecurity controls but also strengthens the company's ability to support defense contractors, manufacturers, government suppliers, and other organizations required to protect CUI and comply with cybersecurity regulations.
For prospective and current clients, CMMC Level 2 certification provides assurance that DP Solutions has implemented and been assessed against a comprehensive set of security controls covering areas such as access management, incident response, risk assessment, system monitoring, multi-factor authentication, and data protection.
"Effective cybersecurity requires disciplined processes, documented controls, and a culture of accountability. Our clients trust us with critical systems and sensitive data every day, and organizations need confidence that their partners can properly protect that data," said Ron Connelly, Chief Information Security Officer at DP Solutions. "Achieving CMMC Level 2 validates the maturity of our security program and demonstrates our ability to protect sensitive information. That's important not only for our organization, but for every client who relies on us as a trusted technology partner."
As more organizations face growing cybersecurity requirements from customers, regulators, and supply chain partners, DP Solutions remains focused on helping clients build resilient technology environments that support both security and business growth.
The achievement further strengthens DP Solutions' cybersecurity practice, which includes managed security services, compliance consulting, risk assessments, security awareness training, incident response planning, and strategic IT guidance.
