(By Light: McLean, VA) -- By Light Professional IT Services has announced it has officially achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2, placing the company among a select group of defense and technology contractors nationwide. While By Light earned this certification for its security operations center (SOC) in July 2025, it now holds the same certification across the enterprise. Few organizations have reached this milestone, underscoring By Light’s reputation as a trusted partner in safeguarding sensitive information and delivering secure, resilient IT solutions.

CMMC Level 2 is a rigorous, independently assessed certification that validates adherence to advanced cybersecurity practices and controls required to protect controlled unclassified information (CUI). This achievement demonstrates By Light’s readiness to meet evolving U.S. Department of Defense standards while also strengthening protection for private sector and international clients.

“Achieving CMMC Level 2 for the enterprise is a testament to By Light’s relentless pursuit of cybersecurity excellence,” says Bob Donahue, CEO of By Light. “This certification signals to our federal, private sector, and international partners that our company is prepared not only to meet compliance requirements but to anticipate and defend against the next generation of cyberthreats. It positions By Light for continued growth as mission demands become increasingly complex.”
