SCI's Commitment to CMMC Level 2 Compliance
Protecting Sensitive Information Across the Defense Supply Chain
As cybersecurity requirements across the Defense Industrial Base continue to evolve, SCI is taking proactive steps to strengthen how we protect customer, program, and mission-sensitive information.
SCI is actively preparing for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Level 2. This effort reflects our continued commitment to safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information, supporting Department of Defense cybersecurity expectations, and helping customers maintain confidence in the security of the work we perform together.
For SCI, CMMC readiness is more than a compliance milestone. It is part of how we protect the integrity of our operations, our customer relationships, and the broader defense supply chain.
What Is CMMC?
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, or CMMC, is the Department of Defense’s framework for validating that contractors and suppliers have the cybersecurity practices needed to protect sensitive information.
CMMC Level 2 focuses on the protection of Controlled Unclassified Information, commonly known as CUI. CUI may include technical drawings, engineering data, export-controlled information, contract details, program specifications, and other information that requires safeguarding.
CMMC Level 2 is based on the security requirements in NIST SP 800-171, a widely recognized standard for protecting CUI in non-federal systems. These requirements address areas such as access control, incident response, system security, user authentication, audit logging, risk management, media protection, and secure information exchange.
Why CMMC Matters to SCI Customers
SCI customers trust us with information that supports critical programs, regulated industries, and national security priorities. As cyber threats become more sophisticated, strong information protection practices are essential to maintaining that trust.
CMMC helps create a common cybersecurity baseline across the defense supply chain. For customers and prospects, SCI’s preparation for Level 2 certification demonstrates that we are investing in the people, processes, and technologies needed to protect sensitive information with discipline and accountability.
This work helps support:
- Secure collaboration with customers and partners
- Stronger protection of CUI and sensitive program data
- Improved readiness for current and future DoD requirements
- Reduced risk of unauthorized access, data spills, and information mishandling
- Greater confidence across the supplier and customer ecosystem
SCI’s Posture Under CMMC Level 2
SCI is taking a structured, organization-wide approach to CMMC Level 2 readiness. Our preparation includes reviewing and strengthening cybersecurity controls, updating internal procedures, improving documentation, and aligning customer-facing workflows with CUI protection expectations.
Key areas of focus under CMMC include:
Secure CUI Handling
Standardization of how CUI is received, transmitted, stored, marked, and protected throughout its lifecycle.
Controlled Access
Reinforced access controls so CUI is available only to authorized personnel with a valid need to know.
Secure Transmission Processes
CUI exchange only using approved secure channels designed to support encrypted, auditable, and controlled data transfer.
Multi-Factor Authentication
Strengthened identity verification for systems and processes used to access or exchange sensitive information.
Employee Awareness and Training
SCI employees are equipped with practical guidance to identify, handle, and escalate questions related to CUI.
Incident Response Readiness
Enhanced processes for identifying, reporting, reviewing, and responding to suspected CUI spills or cybersecurity incidents.
Supplier and Customer Alignment
CUI handling expectations are clearly communicated to customers, partners, and subcontractors involved in covered work.
What Customers Can Expect
Customers receive detailed information on CUI handling and CMMC security from the SCI team to retain compliance. This approach is designed to make secure collaboration easier, clearer, and more consistent. These security measures help reduce ambiguity and ensure sensitive information is handled correctly from the start.
A Security-First Partnership
SCI understands that cybersecurity is not just an internal responsibility. It is a shared commitment across every organization that contributes to protected programs and sensitive customer work.
Our goal is to make CMMC compliance practical, transparent, and supportive for the customers and partners who work with us. We are strengthening our security posture while continuing to deliver the responsiveness, quality, and collaboration customers expect from SCI.
For current customers, these efforts provide greater assurance that SCI is prepared for evolving DoD cybersecurity requirements. For prospective customers, SCI’s CMMC Level 2 compliance work reflects a clear investment in secure operations, responsible data handling, and long-term partnership.
