CMMC
Level 2 Readiness
CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is the DoD’s framework for verifying that defense suppliers protect sensitive government information. CMMC Level 2 applies to companies that handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and reflects the stronger cybersecurity expectations tied to more sensitive defense work.
At Gromax Precision Die & Mfg. Inc., we’re actively working toward CMMC Level 2 readiness for programs that involve CUI. We’re building on our existing Level 1 cybersecurity foundation to strengthen the controls, processes, and documentation needed to support higher-level defense program requirements.
CMMC Level 2 matters because it addresses the cybersecurity controls defense customers are looking for when more sensitive information is involved:
• Access control: limiting access to systems, files, and technical data to authorized users only
• Accountability and traceability: improving how access, activity, and changes are documented and reviewed
• System and information protection: strengthening safeguards around devices, networks, and stored information
• Configuration and risk management: formalizing how systems are maintained, monitored, and controlled
• Incident response and recovery: improving readiness to respond to and manage cybersecurity events
• Documentation and process discipline: supporting the policies and records expected for higher-level program requirements
From a program standpoint, this matters when:
• Your contract or flow-down requirements involve CUI
• You need a supplier that understands both FCI and CUI
• You’re evaluating suppliers for defense or defense-adjacent work with stricter cybersecurity expectations
CMMC Level 1 remains our foundation. We already maintain practices aligned with CMMC Level 1 for handling Federal Contract Information (FCI), and we’re building on that baseline as we continue advancing toward Level 2 readiness.
One important clarification: Gromax is working toward CMMC Level 2 readiness. This should not be presented as Level 2 certification unless that status has been formally achieved.
If you’re unsure whether your program data is FCI or CUI, tell us what you’re seeing in the contract language and we’ll help you map it to the right handling approach.
