IDEMIA NSS Achieves CMMC Level 2 Certification
IDEMIA National Security Solutions (IDEMIA NSS), recognized as a leader in biometrics and secure access solutions, has achieved the prestigious Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 designation. This makes IDEMIA NSS the first biometrics vendor to gain this critical certification, significantly boosting trust in its adherence to high cybersecurity standards.
Commitment to Cybersecurity and Compliance
This certification reflects IDEMIA NSS's strong commitment to safeguarding sensitive information while adhering to the strictest cybersecurity protocols. With the Department of Defense's renewed focus on cybersecurity, CMMC Level 2 emphasizes validation of an organization’s ability to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). As of a specific date in late 2025, the DoD will mandate compliance for new contracts, and this requirement will be phased in until the year 2028. Non-compliance could result in losing the ability to secure or maintain federal contracts.
