Port Electronics Achieves CMMC Level 2 Certification Through C3PAO Assessment
March 2026 | Port Electronics Team
We are proud to announce that Port Electronics has officially achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 — assessed and certified by an accredited C3PAO (Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization). This milestone reflects our unwavering commitment to protecting sensitive defense information and reinforces our position as a trusted supply chain partner to the Aerospace and Defense community.
What Is CMMC Level 2?
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a framework developed by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to ensure that defense contractors and suppliers adequately protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI). CMMC Level 2 represents an advanced tier requiring compliance with all 110 security practices outlined in NIST SP 800-171 — covering areas such as access control, incident response, risk management, and system integrity.
Unlike self-attestation, a C3PAO-led assessment means our practices and controls were independently verified by an accredited third-party organization. This is the highest standard of credibility for CMMC Level 2 compliance — and it means our customers can be confident that our cybersecurity posture has been rigorously evaluated, not simply self-reported.
What This Means for Our Customers and Partners
As an authorized distributor supporting Aerospace and Defense programs for over 35 years, Port Electronics has always held itself to the highest standards of quality, delivery, and integrity. Achieving CMMC Level 2 certification through a C3PAO assessment is the natural extension of that commitment into the cybersecurity domain.
For our prime contractor and government customers, this certification means:
- Confidence that sensitive program information shared with Port Electronics is protected under a verified cybersecurity framework aligned with DoD requirements.
- Streamlined compliance qualification — our C3PAO-certified status supports the supply chain integrity requirements increasingly embedded in DoD contracts.
- A supply chain partner that takes cybersecurity as seriously as we take on-time delivery and quality.
- Continued eligibility to support sensitive and classified programs as CMMC requirements expand across the defense industrial base.
Part of a Broader Commitment to Excellence
This certification joins a growing list of credentials that reflect who Port Electronics is as an organization: AS9100D / ISO 9001 certified, ITAR registered, GIDEP member, and a recipient of over 30 quality and delivery awards from the nation’s top prime contractors.
We are a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Women-Owned (WOSB), Minority-Owned (Native American MBE), and HUBZone certified — proudly bringing a diverse, mission-driven perspective to every program we support. Our identity as a minority-owned business is not simply a certification; it reflects our founding values and the community we are committed to serving.
Cybersecurity is not a checkbox for us — it is an operational discipline. Our CMMC Level 2 C3PAO certification is a testament to the hard work of our entire team, who embraced this process as an opportunity to strengthen our internal systems and better serve the programs and customers who depend on us.
