What does it take for a defense contractor to achieve CMMC Level 2 certification?
For Liberty Business Associates, it started with a decision to act early.
Rather than wait for contract requirements to force the issue, the Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) chose to pursue CMMC Level 2 certification proactivelyโpositioning itself ahead of competitors while strengthening its ability to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
The result:
๐ถ Achieved CMMC Level 2 Certification
๐ถ Built a sustainable compliance program aligned to NIST SP 800-171
๐ถ Strengthened its competitive position for future defense opportunities
๐ถ Demonstrated a validated commitment to safeguarding sensitive government information
Liberty's journey reinforces an important lesson for organizations across the Defense Industrial Base. CMMC isn't just about passing an assessment. It's about building a repeatable, defensible cybersecurity program that can be sustained over time.
Congratulations to the entire Liberty team on this achievement and their continued commitment to cybersecurity excellence.

Your cybersecurity compliance may soon carry an executive signature.
Under CMMC, a senior company official must formally affirm the organization's ongoing compliance with required cybersecurity controls. That affirmation is submitted to the DOD and associated with the official's identity and role. Prime contractors and subcontractors alike are affected.
The era of โIT handled itโ is over.
In the first video of our Executive Guide to CMMC series, Emil Sayegh, CyberSheath CEO, breaks down what the CMMC affirmation requirement means for leadership teams, how it impacts subcontractors, and what organizations should be doing now to prepare.

Registration is now open for CMMC CON 2026!
CMMC 2.0 is a requirement shaping how the Defense Industrial Base operates. With Phase 2 approaching in November 2026 and only 103 authorized C3PAOs supporting ~80,000 organizations, the bottleneck is becoming impossible to ignore.
The question for contractors is whether youโll be ready when itโs enforced in your contract.
Thatโs why weโre bringing back CMMC CON, now in its seventh year and still free to attend.
