IMC is proud to announce that we have officially been designated as a CMMC Level 2 C3PAO Certified Organization. This milestone achievement validates that IMC fully meets the U.S. Department of Defense's rigorous requirements for safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and verifies that our internal cybersecurity framework strictly adheres to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST SP 800-171) guidelines.

As an organization dedicated to the security and integrity of the sensitive information entrusted to us, IMC prioritized the proactive pursuit of this critical credential. IMC’s CMMC Level 2 Certification guarantees our clients and partners:

  • Validated Safeguarding of Data: Proven, third-party verified protection of sensitive defense contract data and CUI.
  • Mature Security Architecture: Enhanced, fully documented, and strictly standardized cybersecurity processes across our enterprise.
  • Immediate Contract Readiness: Full operational capability to pursue, win, and execute on defense contracts that mandate CMMC Level 2 compliance.

Our official certification assessment was conducted by SteelToad, an authorized Certified Third-Party Assessor Organization. With this evaluation complete, IMC is now uniquely positioned to confidently support complex Department of Defense missions that require the secure handling of CUI. We are deeply honored to be among the earliest adopters of this standard and look forward to providing our defense partners with the highest levels of security and operational excellence.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our dedicated IMC team members and our trusted partners for their relentless collaboration and commitment to excellence in reaching this vital organizational milestone.
