Legato Security Achieves CMMC Level 2 Certification, Reinforcing Its Position as a Trusted Partner for Defense and Federal Cybersecurity

SALT LAKE CITY, May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Legato Security, a premier U.S.-based Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP), proudly announces its successful achievement of Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2—a compliance standard required by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) for organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information. 

This certification marks a critical milestone in Legato Security's continued investment in security excellence and positions the company among a select group of cybersecurity providers authorized to work directly with the DoD, federal agencies, and their contractors. 

What is CMMC and Why it Matters
The CMMC program, developed by the DoD, is designed to strengthen the cybersecurity posture of the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). Level 2 of the model requires organizations to demonstrate robust implementation of 110 practices aligned with NIST SP 800-171, ensuring they can safeguard sensitive government data and mitigate risk across national security supply chains. 

Achieving CMMC Level 2 certification is a rigorous, third-party validated process that proves an organization's maturity in protecting federal information assets. 

A Strategic Differentiator in a Competitive Market
In an industry where cybersecurity providers often claim compliance, Legato Security has chosen to prove it. CMMC Level 2 certification reinforces Legato Security's credibility as a partner who not only guides others through compliance but has successfully implemented the framework internally. 

With this achievement, Legato Security stands apart by: 

• Demonstrating verified operational maturity and compliance-readiness 
• Qualifying to support prime and subcontractor roles on defense-related contracts 
• Delivering services through a U.S.-based, 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) built on CMMC-aligned controls 
• Providing strategic consulting from a team that has lived the certification process firsthand 

"Earning CMMC Level 2 certification is a reflection of our unwavering commitment to protecting national security interests and serving our clients with integrity," said Tom Boyden, CEO of Legato Security. "This milestone proves that we practice what we preach—we've built our business on secure, compliant operations that meet the highest federal standards."
