CMMC Level 2 Certification

What CMMC Level 2 Means

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is the Department of Defense's unified cybersecurity standard for safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). Level 2 represents the "Advanced" tier, requiring organizations to fully implement all 110 security practices from NIST SP 800-171 Revision 2.

Unlike self-attestation, CMMC Level 2 requires a third-party assessment by a Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO). Radian Solutions was independently audited and successfully demonstrated compliance across all 14 NIST 800-171 control families — a rigorous process that validates our ability to protect sensitive defense information at the highest standard required for most DoD contracts.

Why It Matters for DoD Contracting

As the DoD phases in CMMC requirements across all solicitations, contractors handling CUI must achieve Level 2 certification to remain eligible. Radian's independently verified certification provides federal agencies with confidence that our information systems, processes, and personnel meet the stringent security requirements necessary to protect national security information.

Organizations without valid CMMC certification will be unable to bid on or perform contracts that involve CUI. By proactively completing our C3PAO assessment, Radian Solutions is positioned to support mission-critical programs without delay, giving our government clients assurance that their data is fully protected from day one.

Scope of Certification

Our CMMC Level 2 certification encompasses the full scope of Radian's information systems that process, store, or transmit CUI. This includes our corporate IT infrastructure, cloud environments, endpoint devices, and all supporting administrative and technical processes. The certification was achieved with zero open POA&Ms (Plan of Action and Milestones), demonstrating complete compliance at the time of assessment.

Key Control Families

CMMC Level 2 spans 14 domains aligned to the NIST SP 800-171 control families. Radian Solutions demonstrated mature implementation across every domain:

• ✓ Access Control (AC) — Limit system access to authorized users and transactions
• ✓ Audit & Accountability (AU) — Create, protect, and retain system audit logs and records
• ✓ Awareness & Training (AT) — Ensure personnel are trained on security risks and policies
• ✓ Configuration Management (CM) — Establish and maintain baseline configurations for systems
• ✓ Identification & Authentication (IA) — Verify the identity of users, devices, and processes
• ✓ Incident Response (IR) — Establish operational incident-handling capabilities
• ✓ Maintenance (MA) — Perform timely maintenance on organizational systems
• ✓ Media Protection (MP) — Protect, sanitize, and control system media containing CUI
• ✓ Personnel Security (PS) — Screen individuals prior to authorizing system access
• ✓ Physical Protection (PE) — Limit physical access to systems, equipment, and facilities
• ✓ Risk Assessment (RA) — Periodically assess risk to organizational operations and assets
• ✓ Security Assessment (CA) — Periodically assess and monitor security controls
• ✓ System & Communications Protection (SC) — Monitor and protect communications at system boundaries
• ✓ System & Information Integrity (SI) — Identify, report, and correct system flaws in a timely manner

Radian's Cybersecurity Commitment

Achieving CMMC Level 2 is more than a compliance checkbox — it reflects Radian Solutions' deep commitment to cybersecurity excellence. We maintain a dedicated security operations team, conduct regular internal assessments, and continuously improve our security posture through threat intelligence integration and proactive vulnerability management.

Our certification enables us to serve as a trusted partner on programs requiring the handling of CUI, including those supporting the Missile Defense Agency, Department of the Air Force, and other DoD components where data protection is paramount.
