NE-XT Technologies is proud to have achieved CMMC Level 2 certification on August 2026 following an independent assessment by an authorized Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO).
As an early adopter of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program, we recognize the importance of protecting sensitive information across the U.S. defense supply chain. With technology continuing to evolve and cybersecurity threats becoming increasingly sophisticated, we are committed to doing our part to help keep our nation’s critical information secure.
This certification recognizes our commitment to protecting sensitive information and meeting the cybersecurity requirements for companies working within the U.S. defense supply chain. It demonstrates that our systems and processes have been independently assessed to help safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
Our CMMC Level 2 certification strengthens our position as a trusted manufacturing partner for customers operating in the aerospace and defense sectors. With established processes for identifying CUI requirements during RFQ and contract reviews, we ensure appropriate data protection measures are considered from the outset of every project.
Combined with our GovCloud environment, this supports the secure management and exchange of sensitive technical information, giving defense contractors, OEMs, and Tier 1 suppliers added confidence when working with NE-XT.
Our commitment to security extends beyond digital systems and into our physical manufacturing environment. Our facility is designed around paperless operations wherever possible, with controlled access restrictions and secure vetting procedures at all entry points. Additional safeguards include escorted facility tours, secure printing procedures, and extensive, ongoing employee training to reinforce awareness of information security responsibilities and the importance of protecting CUI.
Together, these physical and digital safeguards provide a comprehensive approach to protecting sensitive information throughout our manufacturing operations.
CMMC Level 2 is aligned with the cybersecurity requirements outlined in National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-171, which establishes security controls for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information in nonfederal systems and organizations.
These requirements are also reflected in the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), including clause 252.204-7012, Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting. This clause establishes requirements for protecting covered defense information, implementing appropriate security controls, reporting cyber incidents, and ensuring relevant requirements are passed down to applicable subcontractors.
While the Department of Defense announced a temporary suspension of CMMC Phase II requirements in July 2026, existing contractual cybersecurity obligations remain in effect. DFARS 252.204-7012 requirements continue to apply to contracts and subcontract flow-downs where covered defense information and CUI must be safeguarded. The suspension of a CMMC implementation phase does not remove these underlying contractual obligations. Compliance with applicable U.S. Government cybersecurity requirements remains essential and is not optional.
For defense contractors and manufacturers handling CUI, maintaining appropriate cybersecurity practices remains a critical part of meeting contract requirements and supporting the wider defense supply chain.
As an AS9100-certified manufacturer, NE-XT already operates to the high-quality standards expected within the aerospace and defense industries. Our CMMC Level 2 certification builds on this foundation, combining established quality processes with independently assessed cybersecurity practices.
Alongside our advanced multi-axis CNC milling, precision turning, and complex component manufacturing capabilities, we offer customers a manufacturing partner equipped to meet the demands of increasingly specialized and security-conscious programs.
This certification incorporates ISO 9001 standards and demonstrates that our production facility meets quality system requirements for the aerospace industry.
