Key Takeaways
- Infinite Electronics' Hayden, Idaho facility achieves CMMC Level 2 certification
- The certification ensures compliance with U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) cybersecurity requirements
- The facility has implemented 110 cybersecurity controls required under NIST SP 800-171
- Infinite Electronics joins a small group of manufacturers with independently verified cybersecurity practices
Introduction to CMMC Level 2 Certification
Infinite Electronics has announced that its Hayden, Idaho facility has achieved the prestigious CMMC Level 2 certification, following a rigorous assessment by a Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO). This certification demonstrates the facility's compliance with the U.S. Department of Defense's (DoD) cybersecurity requirements for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contracting Information (FCI).
Comparison of CMMC Levels
| CMMC Level | Description | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Basic Cybersecurity Hygiene | 17 controls |
| Level 2 | Intermediate Cybersecurity | 110 controls (NIST SP 800-171) |
| Level 3 | Good Cybersecurity Hygiene | 130 controls |
| Level 4 | Proactive Cybersecurity | 156 controls |
| Level 5 | Advanced Cybersecurity | 171 controls |
Achieving CMMC Level 2 Certification
The successful assessment confirms that the Hayden facility has implemented and operationalized the full set of 110 cybersecurity controls required under NIST SP 800-171. This requires extensive documentation, technical safeguards, and operational controls, which many organizations in the defense industrial base (DIB) are still working to fully implement. As a result, the Hayden facility joins a small group of manufacturers able to demonstrate independently verified cybersecurity practices.
Impact of CMMC Level 2 Certification
The CMMC Level 2 certification ensures that defense contractors can engage with Infinite Electronics solutions without introducing compliance delays or cybersecurity risk within the DoD supply chain. The certification also reinforces Infinite Electronics' role as a trusted partner for defense and aerospace programs that require secure handling of sensitive information. Solutions produced at the Hayden facility include Transtector and other high-reliability products.
Bottom Line
Infinite Electronics' achievement of CMMC Level 2 certification at its Hayden, Idaho facility demonstrates its commitment to cybersecurity and compliance with DoD requirements. With only a small group of manufacturers achieving this level of certification, Infinite Electronics solidifies its position as a trusted partner for defense and aerospace programs, ensuring the secure handling of sensitive information and minimizing cybersecurity risks in the DoD supply chain.
