One Year Before the Deadline, Rite-Solutions Achieves DoW’s Level 2 Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) v2.0

MIDDLETOWN, RI (November 7, 2025)—One year before it becomes a requirement to bid on Department of War (DoW) contracts, Rite-Solutions has achieved Level 2 Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) v2.0 through a Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO).

Non-government companies, facilities, and organizations that provide the DoW with products and services are targets for increasingly complex cyberattacks. CMMC 2.0 was created to verify that government contractors have implemented the required security measures necessary to safeguard Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

The company is one of the first few hundred contractors in the nation to receive certification. The requirements are rigorous. Organizations must implement all 110 practices from NIST SP 800-171, develop a System Security Plan (SSP), create a Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M), and fulfill other requirements, including training personnel, establishing a risk assessment process, and having an incident response plan in place.

“This goes beyond simply checking a compliance box,” says Kaitlin Nagy, Information Security Manager at Rite-Solutions. “CMMC certification affirms that we operate with a mature, disciplined approach to information security and risk management. It’s yet another reason why Rite-Solutions continues to be recognized as one of the most trusted vendors in the DoW contractor space.”

Although self-certification requirements will begin appearing in new solicitations on November 10, 2025, Rite-Solutions met CMMC Level 2 requirements through a C3PAO a full year before third-party certification is required in November 2026.

“This CMMC certification demonstrates that we take our role in national security seriously and that we’re ready to meet the demands of today’s cybersecurity landscape,” adds Joe Marino, Rite-Solutions CEO and Co-Founder. “It reinforces the trust our customers have placed in us and why they continue to choose us.”
