Established by the U.S. Department of Defense, the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification program is designed to verify that contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) maintain the cybersecurity safeguards necessary to protect sensitive government data. CMMC Level 2 certification requires successful completion of an independent assessment validating compliance with the 110 security requirements of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-171, the federal standard for protecting CUI within nonfederal systems and organizations.

The achievement represents a significant milestone for LexisNexis Special Services Inc. and reflects the company’s continued investment in cybersecurity, operational excellence, and mission assurance. This certification also strengthens the company’s ability to support current and future Department of Defense programs, while providing government customers with additional confidence that sensitive information is managed in accordance with rigorous federal cybersecurity requirements.

“Our customers are responsible for some of the government’s most important missions, and they expect the highest standards of security, accountability, and performance from the organizations that support them,” said Haywood Talcove, Chief Executive Officer of LexisNexis Special Services Inc. “Achieving CMMC Level 2 demonstrates our commitment to protecting sensitive information, maintaining operational excellence, and ensuring we are prepared to support those missions today and in the future.”

As cyber threats targeting government systems and critical infrastructure continue to evolve, agencies increasingly require partners capable of protecting sensitive information while supporting mission success. CMMC Level 2 provides independent validation that LexisNexis Special Services Inc. maintains the cybersecurity controls, governance, and operational discipline necessary to safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information and support high-consequence government operations.
