G2 Ops Among the First Defense Contractors to Earn CMMC Level 2 Certification
Virginia Beach, VA, USA | 28 October 2025
G2 Ops announced it has successfully earned Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 with a perfect score of 110, placing the company among the first 400 of nearly 80,000 across the defense industrial base expected to pursue CMMC Level 2 certification.
The milestone achievement, awarded following a rigorous third-party assessment, confirms the model-based systems engineering, cybersecurity, and cloud architecture firm’s full compliance with the DoD’s enhanced cybersecurity standards for the protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
“Achieving CMMC Level 2 certification reflects our unwavering commitment to safeguarding the nation’s defense mission,” said Tracy Gregorio, CEO of G2 Ops. “Cybersecurity is a culture of vigilance and excellence—essential to ensuring the security and readiness of those who protect our country.”
The DoD introduced CMMC to ensure organizations across the defense industrial base are enforcing stringent controls when handling sensitive information. While the self-assessed CMMC Level 1 ensures basic safeguards are in place to protect sensitive information and systems, CMMC Level 2 is often guided by a Certified Third-Party Assessor Organization (C3PAO) to verify the contractor can provide evidence of alignment with NIST 800-171 controls.
“Preparing for CMMC Level 2 required disciplined execution and attention to detail across every part of our environment,” said G2 Ops Director of Information Technology and Cybersecurity Governance, Mike Ciancio. “We methodically aligned system configurations, documentation, and evidence to the 320 assessment objectives—building auditable processes that clearly demonstrate compliance. We’re proud to be among the early organizations to reach this milestone, reflecting the dedication of our team and our commitment to helping strengthen the cybersecurity posture of the entire defense industrial base.”
The three-year rollout of CMMC officially begins on November 10, 2025, meaning that DoD contracting officers may begin requiring compliance with CMMC Levels 1 and 2 in new solicitations depending on mission need. By November 10, 2028, a CMMC Level 2 assessment will be mandatory for all contracts that require CUI handling.
Amidst a landscape of sophisticated and ever-changing cyber threats, G2 Ops recognizes the critical need for a mature culture of cyber awareness that incorporates cybersecurity into every aspect of the work it performs. Earning CMMC Level 2 reaffirms G2 Ops’ long-standing commitment to safeguarding the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of sensitive defense information across its engineering, cybersecurity, and cloud operations.
This significant milestone underscores G2 Ops’ continued dedication to supporting the DoD and its prime contractor partners in maintaining a secure and resilient defense industrial base. As cybersecurity standards continue to evolve, G2 Ops will continue to meet and exceed them, ensuring program success and protecting national security.
