Steel Patriot Partners, a leading provider of advisory, cybersecurity engineering, compliance, and risk management solutions, today announced that it has successfully achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 for its Governance Risk and Compliance Software as a Service offering, Federal ZenGRC. This certification, administered under the authority of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), formally recognizes the company’s implementation of the cybersecurity controls required to protect sensitive DoD Supply Chain information in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) and was performed by an independent Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO).

This achievement underscores and enhances Steel Patriot Partners’ commitment to federal compliance, adding to their FedRAMP Moderate Ready status on the FedRAMP Marketplace and GovRAMP Ready status for Federal ZenGRC. Attaining CMMC certification for Federal ZenGRC further validates that the organization’s systems, policies, and practices meet the standards set forth by the DoD for safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI).

“Achieving CMMC Level 2 certification is a significant milestone that demonstrates our dedication to national security and to the clients we serve across the Defense Industrial Base,” said Jason Ford, Chief Executive Officer of Steel Patriot Partners. “This certification affirms that our federal cybersecurity practices and advisory practices meet the Department of Defense’s requirements. It reflects our ongoing commitment to not only achieving federal compliance standards for ourselves, but also for our clients. Our GRC solution makes it easier for organizations to navigate through CMMC and FedRAMP with automation that spreadsheets cannot do.”

The company’s expert teams deliver tailored solutions to help clients navigate the complex compliance landscape, mitigate cyber risk, and achieve certification readiness using automation, AI, and more than 20 years of federal compliance experience.
