August 22, 2025 – Chantilly, Va. – AMERICAN SYSTEMS, a leading provider of mission essential and information engineering services to federal customers, today announced it has achieved the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 certification with a perfect score of 110 following an accredited C3PAO assessment in June 2025. This milestone places AMERICAN SYSTEMS among the first wave of DoD contractors to meet this rigorous new standard.
The recent achievement of CMMC Level 2 certification enhances AMERICAN SYSTEMS’ reputation as a trustworthy and security-conscious organization. By meeting CMMC’s rigorous security standards, AMERICAN SYSTEMS has strengthened its ability to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and reduce the risk of cyberattacks, data breaches, and unauthorized access. As cybersecurity standards continue to evolve, AMERICAN SYSTEMS is well positioned to swiftly adapt to new standards, maintaining its leadership position in protecting sensitive information and supporting its customers’ critical missions.

CMMC Level 2 is the advanced compliance tier of the CMMC model and is a highly rigorous cybersecurity framework developed by the U.S. DoD to secure CUI from cybersecurity threats. To achieve CMMC Level 2 compliance, organizations must implement all 110 security controls outlined in NIST SP 800-171 and undergo an independent assessment by an accredited C3PAO. CMMC Level 2 plays a vital role in maintaining the security of sensitive information that is shared through acquisition programs with DoD contractors and subcontractors.
