CMMC Level 2 certification validates that Keyfactor’s federal PKI-as-a-Service (PKIaaS) enclave has implemented and operates the 110 security controls aligned with NIST SP 800-171, demonstrating the company’s ability to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and meet the U.S. Department of Defense’s cybersecurity requirements for contractors and service providers.
“CMMC places new emphasis on operational consistency, accountability, and auditability across the defense supply chain,” said Ted Shorter, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer at Keyfactor. “Achieving CMMC Level 2 reflects our commitment to operating at the same security standard our customers are expected to meet. By centralizing and automating the management of certificates and cryptographic identities, Keyfactor helps teams reduce complexity, maintain compliance, and build the crypto-agility needed for both today’s CMMC requirements and the future demands of AI-driven systems and post-quantum cryptography.”
