Optiv + ClearShark Achieves CMMC Level 2 Certification
Optiv + ClearShark has successfully achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 certification. This accomplishment validates the company's ability to protect sensitive government data and comply with the U.S. Department of Defense's stringent security standards for contractors.
The CMMC program mandates that contractors in the defense industrial base implement rigorous cybersecurity requirements to safeguard controlled unclassified information. Level 2 certification demonstrates that Optiv + ClearShark has effectively implemented NIST SP 800-171 controls, ensuring compliance with upcoming federal mandates and reinforcing trust with clients and vendors.

With this certification, Optiv + ClearShark provides partners with a trusted and compliant supply chain link for engaging with the federal government. As CMMC requirements move toward contractual enforcement, this achievement positions partners advantageously, especially as noncompliance penalties loom.
