COLORADO SPRINGS, CO – August 15, 2026 — Imprimis, Inc., a leading advanced technology and cybersecurity compliance corporation, today announced the successful completion of its Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 audit, conducted by an authorized independent Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO).   With this landmark achievement, Imprimis validates its rigorous internal cybersecurity posture and adherence to Department of Defense (DoD) standards for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI).

Across the entire Defense Industrial Base (DIB) comprising over 300,000 suppliers and defense contractors—fewer than 1,800 companies nationwide have successfully attained formal CMMC Certification Status to date, (according to The Cyber AB accreditation body as of July 2026) positioning Imprimis at the forefront of defense sector security and compliance leadership.

"Achieving formal CMMC 2.0 certification through an independent C3PAO assessment is a pivotal milestone for our team," said Michael Semmens, President of Imprimis, Inc. "For over two decades, our mission has been 'Turning Technology into Capability.' By subjecting our own enterprise architecture to the highest levels of third-party compliance scrutiny, we not only secure our internal infrastructure and defense research operations but also demonstrate the real-world validity and effectiveness of our proprietary cybersecurity products, assessment services, and solution frameworks."

The Imprimis MSSP & CMMC Certification Benefit for DIB Contractors

For defense contractors pursuing CMMC Level 2 certification, choosing a CMMC-certified MSSP matters. The DoD's CMMC scoping requirements require organizations to account for ESPs (External Service Providers) that process, store, transmit, or protect CUI and Security Protection Data. When an ESP is already operating under a successfully assessed CMMC Level 2 environment, their customers benefit from a mature, independently validated security program that aligns with the same standards they must satisfy themselves.

With Imprimis' achievement of CMMC Level 2 Certification, the company continues to provide its clients with more than just “off-the-shelf” cybersecurity services. Imprimis offers not only assessment compliance assurance, it provisions cybersecurity sustainment certainty for our clients. Because DoD CMMC scoping guidance requires organizations to consider the role of ESPs within the assessment boundary, working with a CMMC Level 2 certified MSSP helps reduce the compliance burden associated with inherited security services. Our independently assessed controls, documented processes, and validated security operations enable clients to focus on their own business and mission requirements rather than proving the security posture of their service providers during every certification assessment.
