Greensboro managed IT and security provider passes the full 110-control CMMC Level 2 assessment with zero findings, giving defense contractors that handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) a certified environment to build on before third-party CMMC certification becomes mandatory in November 2026.

GREENSBORO, N.C., June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dynamic Quest, a managed IT, cloud, and cybersecurity provider serving enterprises and mid-sized businesses, today announced it has earned Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 certification. The company passed its assessment on the first attempt with a perfect score of 110 and zero findings, placing it among the small number of organizations certified to CMMC Level 2.

CMMC Level 2 measures an organization against the full set of 110 security requirements in NIST Special Publication 800-171, the federal standard for protecting CUI across the defense supply chain. Anyone can verify Dynamic Quest’s certified status in the Department of Defense’s Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS).

Forvis Mazars, one of the first six authorized CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organizations (C3PAOs) in the country, performed the assessment, with independent CMMC advisory and preparation support from Kratos.

A certification gap the defense industrial base can no longer defer
The Department of Defense’s final acquisition rule, effective November 10, 2025, writes CMMC requirements directly into defense contracts. Beginning November 10, 2026, third-party CMMC Level 2 certification becomes mandatory for new and renewing contracts involving CUI, so contractors without it risk losing that work.

The supply of certified help is far behind the need. Roughly 80,000 defense contractors will need CMMC Level 2, yet only 1% consider themselves fully prepared, according to the 2025 State of the Defense Industrial Base report (CyberSheath / Merrill Research).

What Dynamic Quest’s certification means for contractors
Defense contractors that run on a Dynamic Quest managed environment operate on security controls already certified to CMMC Level 2. Rather than starting from zero, those clients can inherit or share certified infrastructure and security controls, documented evidence, and compliance-aligned tools that speed their own certification ahead of the November 2026 third-party requirement.

“We invested in the certification because we knew it would be difficult for most defense contractors to achieve certification by November and the fastest, most credible way for us to help them is to have walked the entire 110-control path ourselves, first. Our perfect score on our first attempt is indicative of what clients should expect of the foundation they’re building on.” said John Guillaume, President and Chief Executive Officer of Dynamic Quest.

“CMMC Level 2 is a rigorous, evidence-driven assessment and there is nowhere to hide across the 110 controls,” said Martin Capurro, Chief Technology Officer of Dynamic Quest. “Our environment was engineered from the ground up with FedRAMP-aligned components that can be leveraged by defense contractors ensuring their compliance and faster readiness.”
