Contractors handling sensitive, unclassified DoD information must achieve a specific CMMC level as a condition of contract awards. Capella\u2019s Level 2 certification verifies the company\u2019s compliance with 110 NIST SP 800- 171 Revision 2 security requirements.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cCapella\u2019s preparation reflected a deep commitment to security and compliance. Achieving a CMMC Certificate of Status, Capella demonstrated that they prioritize end-to-end security and the secure handling of customer information across their entire platform,\u201d said <strong>Cole French<\/strong><strong>, Director of Cybersecurity Services and CMMC Lead at Kratos<\/strong>. Capella also worked with Summit 7, a security and compliance solutions provider, for IT support to implement the program.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cSummit 7 is thrilled to see Capella Space complete their CMMC L2 for record assessment. Capella is a leader in space tech and has invested in securing their environment to ensure the security of their valuable intellectual property, as well as the government data that it handles in the execution of DoD and international partner missions. We are excited that our CMMC L2 Implementation for Office 365 GCC High and Azure Government, as well as our Managed IT support through Guardian for M365 and Azure, could be a part of this incredibly successful assessment,\u201d said <strong>Scott Edwards<\/strong><strong>, CEO of Summit 7<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Capella Space, an American space tech company with data and satellite solutions for government and commercial applications, announced that the company achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2, authorizing Capella to store, process, and transmit US government Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
